King Fahd Mosque (Template:Lang-bs) also known as King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud Mosque in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Currently the biggest mosque in Sarajevo, in respect to capacity. It is built in place where it was most needed, part of town that was most populated, but had no mosque.

Sarajevo's King Fahd Mosque was financed by Saudi Arabia as the largest mosque for Muslims in the Balkans and the mosque has a reputation for attracting a lot of Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[2] recently built after 5 years from peace agreement.[3]
