The Haji Shahla Mosque (Azerbaijani: Hacı Şəhla məscidi, Persian: مسجد حاجی شهلا) is a former mosque and architectural monument located in the Balakhany town of Baku, in Azerbaijan. The inscription on the mosque indicates that it was built in 787 AH (1385/1386 CE) under the Iranian Shirvanshahs and by the order of Haji Shahla bin Shakir bin Mustafa Koskin, constructed by the master architect Arif, son of the master Musa Jibal. After Azerbaijan regained independence, the building was included in the list of significant immovable historical and cultural monuments of the country by the decision numbered 132 of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan on August 2, 2001.
