The Mosque of Salman al-Farsi (Arabic: مسجد سلمان الفارسي) is a mosque located in the city of Salman Pak, Al-Mada'in district, in the province of Diyala, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq. It contains the purported tomb of Salman al-Farsi, a Sahaba.
It is historically a Sunni mosque, however, at some point of time the mosque was removed from the Sunni Endowment and given to the Shi'ite managements.
