The Kuyularonu Mosque (Turkish: Kuyularönü Camii) is a mosque in Turkey situated in the city of Alanya in the province of Antalya Province.

The original mosque was built in 1471, and had major restorations in 1765 and 1942.[1] The mosque was demolished in 2005 as part of another restoration. The new structure was opened in February 2006. The opening ceremony was attended by MP Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu and a priest.[2]

The minaret was made out of wood until the 20th century.[3] The current structure has two floors made out of stone and bricks.[4] The mihrab in the mosque is 530 cm tall and 440 cm wide.[5] The Kuyularonu Mosque has approximately 10000 visitors every day, 200 of which are non-local tourists.[6]
