Schnaittach is a market town in Middle Franconia, Bavaria, Germany.

Schnaittach is on the river Schnaittach, a tributary of the Pegnitz.

Until 1806 the Christian population of Schnaittach was Catholic, in contrast to the surrounding areas.

Schnaittach has had a large Jewish community since the 15th century.

Today, the building complex of the synagogue houses a branch of the Jewish Museum of Franconia (the main museum is in Fürth).
