The Muradie Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Muradies), also known as the Lead Mosque (Xhamia e Plumbit), is a mosque located in Vlorë, Albania. Situated in downtown Vlora on a central square, the mosque is surrounded by roads on all four sides, west of Sadik Zotaj, south of Lef Sallata and east of Papa Kristo Negovani streets.
