Assunna Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السُّنَّة) is a mosque designed by Jean-François Zevaco in a modernist architectural style in Casablanca, Morocco in 1966.[1][2] It features brutalist architectural elements such as raw concrete.[1] It is located at the junction of Blvd. 2 Mars and Blvd. Modibo Keïta.[1]

It drew inspiration from Oscar Niemeyer's Church of Saint Francis of Assisi in Pampulha, Belo Horizonte.[3]
