The El Neguev Synagogue (Spanish: Sinagoga El Neguev en Pachuca), also known as the Jewish Community of Venta Prieta (Spanish: Comunidad Mexicana Israelita El Neguev «Venta Prieta») or the El Neguev Mexican Israelite Community of Venta Prieta, is a Jewish congregation and synagogue, located on Venta Prieta, in the city of Pachuca de Soto, Hidalgo, Mexico.

The congregation comprises people who are descended from B'nei Anusim, also known as Conversos, Jews who were either forcibly converted to Christianity during the Spanish Inquisition and later returned to Judaism. The congregation was established in the latter part of the 19th century or the early 20th century, and the synagogue was completed in 1930.
