The Saatchi Synagogue, also called The Saatchi Shul, is an Orthodox Jewish congregation that worships from a synagogue located at 7/41 Grove End Road, in the City of Westminster, Central London, England, in the United Kingdom. The congregation worships in the Ashkenazi rite.

History

The congregation was founded in 1998 in Maida Vale, London by Charles Saatchi and Maurice Saatchi. The first rabbi of the congregation was Pinchas "Pini" Eliezer Dunner.

Initially meeting at Andover Place, in Maida Vale, in a part of the building that once formed the Bayswater Synagogue, the congregation subsequently moved its services to the site of the St John's Wood (United) Synagogue, and in 2018 plans were made to merge the two congregations.

Rabbi Mendel Cohen has been the rabbinical leader of the congregation since 2010.
