The Abu al-Abbas al-Mursi Mosque (Arabic: جامع أبو العباس المرسي, romanizedJami' Abu al-'Abbas al-Mursi) is a mosque, mausoleum, and Sufi shrine, located in the Anfoushi neighbourhood of Alexandria, on the north coast of Egypt. The 13th-century mosque is named in honour of Abu'l Abbas al-Mursi, a 13th-century mystic, who is also buried in the same place along with members of the Ashraf family.

The mosque is located adjacent to both the Al-Busiri Mosque and the Sidi Yaqut Al-Arsh Mosque, and all three mosques facing the same central sahn.
