The Yalbugha Mosque (Arabic: جامع يلبغا, jāmi‘ yalbughā) was a 13th-century mosque on the Barada river in Damascus, Syria. It was built by the Mamluks in 1264[1]:{{{3}}} or by Yalbughā al-Yahyāwī in 1346–47.[2]:{{{3}}} During the reign of Ibrahim Pasha (1832–1840) it was converted to use as a biscuit factory.[3]:{{{3}}} It was demolished in 1974 to make way for a redevelopment. A modern mosque and an unfinished office development now stand on the site.[4]:{{{3}}}
