The Great City Synagogue (Ukrainian: Велика міська синагога, Polish: Wielka Synagoga Miejska we Lwowie) was situated in the former Jewish Quarter near today's city centre.

The construction of the synagogue took place between 1799 and 1801.
It was built in Neoclassicist style.
After the Jewish Community transferred the reliquaries from the Golden Rose Synagogue to the newly constructed synagogue in 1801, the latter became the main city synagogue.

Almost all Lviv synagogues were destroyed by the Nazis, this one was blown up in 1943.
