The Ferhat Pasha Mosque, also known as the Ferhadija Mosque, is an Ottoman-style mosque in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, built in 1579 on the commission of Sanjak-bey Ferhad Pasha Sokolović. Its classical design is probably the work of a pupil of Mimar Sinan, the Ottoman chief architect, and it resembles Sinan's Muradiye Mosque in Manisa, Turkey. Demolished in 1993 during ethnic cleansing, it was rebuilt and reopened on 7 May 2016.
