The Italian Synagogue, also known as Kal de los Frankos, is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Şair Ziya Paşa Street, north of the Golden Horn, in Beyoğlu, Istanbul, in the Istanbul Province of Turkey.

The congregation was established by the Italian Jewish community of Istanbul, (Comunità Israelitico-Italiana di Istanbul), in the 19th century. In 1931 the original building was demolished and a new Gothic Revival synagogue was built in its place.
