The Mosque of the Prophet Huri or Nebi Huri Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النبي هوري; Kurmanji Kurdish: Mizgefta Pêxemberê Hurî) is a mosque and mausoleum located at the archeological site of Cyrrhus near Afrin, Syria. It was formerly known as the Nebi Huri Mausoleum (ضريح النبي هوري) as well.

It is built around a Roman-period hexagonal tower tomb which was converted into an Islamic shrine or mausoleum during the Mamluk period.
