The Chaukhamba Mosque (Urdu: چوکھمبا مسجد) is a mosque, located in Varanasi, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Despite its partial ruinous state, the 14th-century mosque is used as a pilgrimage site by Muslims.

It was constructed during the reign of Sultan of Delhi, Feroz Shah Tughlaq (r. 1351–1388).^[1]
