The Mosul Grand Mosque (Arabic: جامع الموصل الكبير) is an incomplete Sunni mosque located in Mosul, in the Nineveh Governorate of Iraq. The partially-complete mosque is situated in the Taqafah district bordering the Tigris river near the Nineveh archeological site. Its construction started during the rule of Saddam Hussein, and works were interrupted because of the political instability in the country. As of 2025[update], the building was incomplete.
When completed, it will be the largest mosque in Mosul and was previously called Saddam Mosque in honour of the Iraqi president, Saddam Hussein. During the 2017 Battle of Mosul, the incomplete mosque was damaged by ISIL forces. In February 2019, the Nineveh Governorate municipality announced that construction had been resumed with a US$50 million grant from the United Arab Emirates. A completion date was not set.[2]
