The Sheikh Ibrahim Mosque (Azerbaijani: Şeyx İbrahim Məscidi, Persian: مسجد شیخ ابراهیم) is a historical mosque, located on Asaf Zeynalli Street, in the Old City of Baku, in Azerbaijan. Completed in the 15th century by the Iranian Shirvanshahs, the mosque was designated as an important immovable historical and cultural monument in Azerbaijan by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan on August 2, 2001, with the number 132. During the Soviet occupation, worship in the mosque was halted. Currently, the building of the mosque houses a madrasa, where educational activities are conducted, located near the Jumu'ah Mosque.
