The Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque (Bosnian: Gazi Husrev-begova džamija; Turkish: Gazi Hüsrev Bey Camii) is a Sunni mosque in the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Built in the 16th century, it is the largest historical mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the most representative Ottoman structures in the Balkans.
Having been Sarajevo's central mosque since the days of its construction, it also serves as the main congregational mosque of the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in the Baščaršija neighborhood in the Stari Grad municipality and, being one of the main architectural monuments in the town, is regularly visited by tourists.
The mosque was named in honour of Gazi Husrev-beg, who founded the mosque and is interned in the adjacent mausoleum.
