The Ilchi Mosque (Persian: مسجد ایلچی; Arabic: مسجد إيلجي) is a Shi'ite mosque in Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran. The founder of this small and simple mosque was Saheb Soltan Beigom, the daughter of a courtier in the Shah Suleiman's court. In Azeri, the word Ilchi (elçi) means messenger. The mosque was built in 1686 CE under the supervision of Mohammad Ali ben Ostad ALibeyk.

The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 3 March 1937, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
