The Red Synagogue of Joniškis (Lithuanian: Joniškio Raudonoji sinagoga) is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue, located at 4a Miesto Square, in Joniškis, in the Šiauliai County of Lithuania. Called the Winter or Small synagogue; it was designed in the Classical Revival and Romanesque Revival styles, and completed in 1865 and rebuilt after the 1911 fire. The building operated as a synagogue until it was devastated by Nazis in 1941. Subsequently used for profane purposes, the building was restored from 2011 and has been repurposed as a Jewish museum since 2014. The former synagogue was located adjacent to the White Synagogue of Joniškis.
