The Israelite Association of Venezuela (Spanish: Asociación Israelita de Venezuela), known as Tiferet Israel, is an association for Sephardic Jews living in Venezuela. Founded in the 1920s in Caracas, it is the oldest surviving Jewish organization in Venezuela.
The association supports two synagogues, the Tiféret Israel Synagogue and the Bet-El Synagogue, both in Caracas. The association counts approximately 800 families among its members.
The head office of the association is located in the same building as the Tiféret Israel Synagogue. The building was subject to an anti-Semitic attack in 2009.
