The Khusraw mosque Arabized as Khusruwiyah Mosque (Arabic: جَامِع الْخُسْرُوِيَّة, romanizedJāmiʿ al-Ḵusruwīyah; Turkish: Hüsreviye Camii) was a mosque complex in Aleppo, Syria. It was located southeast of the Citadel. The mosque was commissioned by Husrev Pasha while he was governor of Aleppo under Sultan Suleiman I.

The mosque, which was left neglected during the Syrian Civil War was completely destroyed during the Battle of Aleppo in August 2014 with dynamites.
