The Hulhumalé Grand Mosque, formally known as the Masjid al Sheikh Qasim bin Al-Thani (Dhivehi: ހުޅުމާލެ ގުއްބު މިސްކިތް; Arabic: مسجد الشيخ قاسم بن آلثاني), is a Sunni Islam mosque, located in Hulhumalé, on the North Malé Atoll, in the Maldives.
The mosque, that accommodates more than 1,500 worshippers, was opened in the 1990s in the framework of the Hulhumalé land reclamation and development project.
A second mosque in Hulhumalé, Masjid Muhammad, was opened by the President of the Maldives, Ibrahim Mohamed Solih, on 14 October 2021. Commenced in 2019, the new mosque accommodates up to 760 worshippers.
