The Er-Rahman Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الرحمن, lit. 'Mosque of A Hundred Columns') is a mosque located in Cherchell, in the province of Tipaza, in Algeria.
Built during the French colonial period at the end of the 19th-century as a church called the Church of Saint-Paul (French: Église Saint-Paul de Cherchell), dedicated in honour of Paul the Apostle, the Neo-classical church was converted into a mosque in 1964, after the country's independence.
