The New Synagogue (German: Leo Baeck Saal) is the only synagogue of the Jewish community in Düsseldorf, Germany. The synagogue was built in the Golzheim district, far from the site of the former synagogue, which has been situated in the city center at Kasernenstraße. There the synagogue was pillaged and burned by SA men on Kristallnacht.

The synagogue is named after Rabbi Leo Baeck, who served as a pulpit rabbi in Düsseldorf. On October 3, 2000 the synagogue was fire bombed. Since then, there is constant police watch over the synagogue.
