The Yusef Abad Synagogue (Persian: Kenise e Yusef Ábád کنیسه یوسف آباد Hebrew: בית הכנסת יוסף-אבד) is one of the largest synagogues in Tehran Iran. The official name of the Yusef Abad Synagogue is Sukat Shalom Synagogue. The original building that housed the synagogue was completed in the early 1950s. With the growth of the Jewish population of the capital especially in the Yusef Abad neighborhood it was decided that a newer building was needed.
