The Sidi Bishr Mosque (Arabic: مسجد سيدي بشر, romanized: Masjid Sīdī Bishr) is a mosque located in the Sidi Bishr neighborhood of Alexandria, on the north coast of Egypt. The mosque is named in honour of Sheikh Bishr Ibn Al-Hussein Ibn Muhammad Ibn Ubayd Allah Ibn Al-Hussein Ibn Bishr Al-Jawhari, a sheikh from the late 5th-century to early 6th-century AH (late 11th-century to early 12th-century CE) who lived in Alexandria after coming from the Maghreb.
