Ohel Leah Synagogue is a Jewish religious community in Hong Kong.

The Ohel Leah Synagogue, established in 1902, serves as the central place of worship for Hong Kong's Jewish community, which currently numbers approximately 3,000 members. The synagogue is accompanied by a Jewish Community Centre that provides a range of services and facilities for both members and visiting Jews. These facilities include supervised kosher dining and banquet services, cultural and recreational areas, and a specialist library dedicated to all aspects of Judaica. The community is also home to several associated groups focused on shared interests, such as the Jewish Women's Association and the Jewish Historical Society. Beyond religious services, the Ohel Leah Synagogue is part of a broader Jewish presence in Hong Kong that dates back to the 1840s. The community also operates a Jewish international school, which features an international stream open to students of all faiths. While the synagogue itself is a traditional place of worship, the wider Jewish community in Hong Kong engages in various educational, cultural, and social activities, maintaining a distinct identity within the city's diverse religious landscape that includes Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and other traditions.
