The Yukhari Govhar Agha Mosque (Azerbaijani: Yuxarı Gövhər Ağa Məscidi), also called the Great Juma Mosque of Govhar Agha (Azerbaijani: Böyük Gövhər Ağanın Cümə Məscidi), is an Azerbaijani Shia Muslim mosque located in the city of Shusha, Azerbaijan. It was firstly built in 1768 under the orders Ibrahim Khalil Khan, on the site of an old reed mosque, but finished by Karbalayi Safikhan Karabakhi on the orders of Govhar Agha, the daughter of Ibrahim Khalil Khan, in 1885.
Former Artsakh authorities and media outlets have falsely claimed several times that the mosque is "Persian" or "Iranian heritage".
