The Mouansa Synagogue (Arabic: معبد موانسة) is a former Orthodox Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in the village of Mouansa, located just west of Zarzis, Tunisia, in North Africa.

The synagogue, together with the nearby Jewish cemetery, is all that remains of the Jewish community of the village after the Jewish exodus from Tunisia that accelerated after attacks in 1967.
