The Yeni Mosque (Greek: Γενί Τζαμί, from Turkish: Yeni Camii, lit. 'New Mosque'), also known as the Defterdar Ahmet Pasha Mosque, is a mosque in the town of Komotini, in the Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region of Greece. Completed in 1585 CE, during the Ottoman era, it is the only surviving structure in Greece to feature Iznik tiles from the 1580s, the zenith of the Iznik potters' art.
The mosque is located in the center of Komotini, adjacent to the Muftiate of Rhodope Prefecture. Next to the mosque is the clocktower and the Ottoman Turkish baths are found in neighboring areas. Ironically, the New Mosque was built before the Old Mosque of 1608.
