The Beit Medrash Hagadol Synagogue of Jonava (Lithuanian: Jonavos Beit Midrash Hagadol sinagoga) is a former synagogue in Jonava.

In 1941 80% of Jonava's population was Jewish and town had seven synagogues.

At present only two synagogues remain and both are not in use. The other synagogues were destroyed when Jonava was attacked by Nazi Germany.

Beit Medrash Hagadol Synagogue was one of the two biggest synagogues in Jonava. The main synagogue that was located next to Beit Midrash Hagadol has been destroyed.

The current appearance of the synagogue differs significantly from its previous appearance.
