The Şehitlik Mosque is a mosque in Neukölln, Berlin, Germany. The Sunni mosque was completed in 2005, and is operated by the Diyanet İşleri Türk İslam Birliği (DİTİB).
Designed in an Ottoman Revival style by Hilmi Şenalp, the four storey mosque has capacity for 1,500 worshipers. The complex also includes a cultural center, and an information and meeting center.
The mosque took its name from the Turkish cemetery, which was laid out as a diplomatic cemetery back in 1866. Among the graves of honor there are those for the Armenian genocide perpetrators Cemal Azmi and Bahattin Şakir, which was criticized by Kurdish-German politician Giyasettin Sayan in 2005.
