Souq Bab al-Saray is the largest heritage marketplace in Old Mosul, Iraq. Its origins as a commercial hub date back to the establishment of Al-Masfi Mosque in 637 CE.

It is a series of intersected organic and narrow roads, each specialized in trading specific products and items. Road widths range between 1.0 and 2.0 meters, with some relatively large areas at road intersections. It hosts Old Mosul's handicrafts marketplaces, such as Safareen, Hadadeen, Bazazeen, and Atareen.
