Congregation Maghen Abraham in Montreal (French: La Synagogue Maghen Abraham de Montreal, lit. 'Shield of Abraham') is a Sephardi Jewish Lebanese community located in the district of St-Kévin in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

It is named in honor of the Maghen Abraham Synagogue in Beirut, Lebanon. The congregation was founded to meet the needs of Jewish Lebanese families moving to Montreal.

In the sanctuary, Torah is read to the congregation from the bimah and the Torah scrolls are stored in the aron kodesh on the east wall. The congregation face towards the east, and Jerusalem, in praying. The ornamentation features symbols such as Stars of David, signs of the zodiac and natural forms.
