List of mosques in Jerusalem

This is a list of mosques in Jerusalem. It includes mosques in East Jerusalem, Palestine and mosques in West Jerusalem, Israel.

Jerusalem, considered the holiest city for Christians and Jews, was one of the earliest cities conquered by the Muslim Arabs. The Dome of the Rock is the oldest preserved Islamic structure in the world. Today the city still contains several mosques, including the Al-Aqsa mosque which served as the first qibla for about a year.
