The Nukhailah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النخيلة) is a historic Twelver Shi'ite mosque in the town of al-Kifl, in the district of Al-Hilla, in the province of Babylon, Iraq. The mosque is a large complex built over a former Jewish site. The building contains Ezekiel's Tomb (Arabic: مرقد نبي الله ذي الكفل), which is believed to be the tomb of the Quranic prophet Dhu al-Kifl, who is traditionally considered to be Ezekiel.
