The Dhania Chalk Mosque (Bengali: ধনিয়াচক মসজিদ) is a historical Sultanate period mosque located in the southern suburb of the ancient city Gaur, presently in the village Shahbajpur under Shibganj Upazila of the Chapainawabganj District. The architectural style suggests that the building was likely constructed in the late fifteenth century. The mosque was reconstructed from ruins by Department of Archeology, now a protected archeological site.
