The Seyyed Mosque (Persian: مسجد سید; Arabic: مسجد السيد) is a Twelver Shi'ite mosque and madrasa, located in Isfahan, Isfahan province, Iran. It was built in the late 19th century, during the Qajar era, by the Shi'ite cleric Mohammad Bagher Shafti, one of the first clerics to receive the rank of Hujjatul Islam. The mosque itself is active, however, as of July 2024, its construction was incomplete, with restoration work in progress.
The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 20 June 1958, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran, the Endowments and Charity Affairs Organization, and other organizations.
