The Abdelhamid Ben Badis Mosque (Arabic: مسجد عبد الحميد بن باديس) is a Sunni mosque located in Oran, Algeria. The mosque was completed in 2015 and named in honor of Abdelhamid Ben Badis, a revered figure among Algerian Muslims. In 1931, Ben Badis helped found the Association of Algerian Muslim Ulema, an Islamic reformist organization that helped combat assimilation into colonial French culture.
