The Great Omari Mosque of Lod, also known as al-Omari Mosque or the Great Mosque of Lod, is a Friday mosque located in the city of Lod, in central Israel.

The 15th-century mosque is built over part of a site that contained a former medieval church that was destroyed in the 12th century and rebuilt during the 19th-century as the Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George. The 19th-century church is located adjacent to the mosque. The former medieval church was allegedly erected over the tomb of the fourth-century martyr George of Lydda, who is frequently associated with the Muslim holy figure Al-Khadr.
