The Al-Saffahiyah Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع السَّفَّاحِيَّة, romanized: Jāmiʿ as-Saffāḥīyah) is a mosque in Aleppo, located to the south-west of the Citadel, at "Al-Jalloum" district of the ancient city, to the east of Al-Shibani Church-School. The mosque was built in 1425 under the patronage of Ahmed bin Saleh bin Al-Saffah on the ruins of an old mill, during the Mamluk period.^[1]

The mosque is marked with its single octagonal minaret over the entrance, decorated with the fine carvings of the Mamluk-era architecture.

The mosque was partially renovated in 1925.
