The Katib al-Wilaya Mosque (Arabic: جامع الولايات, romanized: Masjid Kātib al Wilāyah, lit. 'Clerk of the State Mosque'), also known as the Welayat Mosque, is a small mosque located along Omar Mukhtar Street in the Zaytun Quarter of the Old City of Gaza, Palestine. The minaret was built by the Burji Mamluks in 1432 CE (835 AH). Additions to the western part of the mosque were commissioned in 1587 by Ahmad Bik during Ottoman rule of the region.
