The Nabi Daniel Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النبي دانيال), is a mosque and mausoleum, located in Alexandria, on the north coast of Egypt. The mosque was named in honour of Muhammad Daniyal al-Mawsili, a Kurdish Muslim scholar of the Shafi'i school who was buried in the mosque.
The mosque is one of the places speculated to once have been the Tomb of Alexander the Great, while the actual tomb in the crypt of the mosque is erroneously attributed to the biblical prophet Daniel.
