The Masjid al-Qiblatayn (Somali: Masjidka Labada Qibla, lit. 'Mosque of the two Qiblas'; Arabic: مَـسْـجِـد الْـقِـبْـلَـتَـيْـن) is a former mosque, in a partial ruinous state, located in Zeila, in the western Awdal region of Somaliland, in northern Somalia. The name of the mosque reflects the belief that it was once aligned to both Mecca and Jerusalem.
