The Tuba-Shahi Mosque (Azerbaijani: Tuba-Şahi məscidi; Arabic: مسجد طوبا شاهي) is a former mosque and historical architectural monument, located in the Mardakan village of the Khazar district in Baku, Azerbaijan. Completed in c. 1482, the former mosque is included in the list of the historical and architectural monuments of local importance approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan.[1]

The former mosque was built not far from the Quadrangular Mardakan Castle dating from the Shirvanshahs era.[2] The mosque has a clearly defined volume in the form of a parallelepiped completed with a dome. The central part of the prayer hall is covered with a dome resting on sails. On four sides, the central prayer hall is adjoined by lateral rectangular rooms.[3]
