Temple Israel is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 1109 West Vernon Avenue, on the corner of Laroque Street, in Kinston, North Carolina, in the United States.

As more European Jews emigrated to the small, eastern North Carolina town, the congregation grew as well.

This building served the congregation through World War II, until its present structure was built in 1950.
