The Eaton Family Residence-Jewish Center of Norwich is a historic home, now unaffiliated^[2] Jewish synagogue and community center, located at 72 South Broad Street in Norwich, Chenango County, in New York, in the United States.

The house was built in 1914 for R. D. Eaton to house his family, one of the most prominent families in Central New York. The 2+1⁄2-story, tan brick residence with a green ceramic tile, side-gabled roof resting on a cut stone foundations completed in the Colonial Revival style. The main block is rectangular, five bays wide and two bays deep. The main entrance is set within a prominent one bay wood portico with gabled roof supported by paired, fluted classical columns.^[3]

The building has been used as a synagogue and community center by local German-Jewish refugees, since 1955.^[3]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.^[1]
