The Uzbek Mosque (Arabic: جامع الأزبك), also known as the Mosque of al-Azbak and the al-Azbak Mosque or simply the Azbak Mosque, is a Sunni mosque located in the al-Rusafa district of Baghdad, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq. It is distinguished by its architecture and history that date from the 17th century. The mosque is also unique due to its association with the Uzbek people (whom the mosque gets its name from) who immigrated to and lived in Baghdad. Sheikh Jalal al-Hanafi was its imam and preacher in the late 1930s.
