The Aidrus Mosque, also known as the Mosque of Abu Bakr al-'Aydarus, is a Sufi mosque on Aidrus Street in Crater, Aden, Yemen. Named after Abu Bakr al-Aydarus, the wali (saint) of Aden, it is one of the city's principal mosques. Originally built in the late 15th or early 16th century, it was rebuilt after its destruction in 1859. During the 1994 civil war, Islamic fundamentalists from North Yemen damaged much of the building, burning copies of the Quran and vandalizing tombs in its courtyard.
