The İskender Pasha Mosque, located in the Kanlıca neighborhood of Istanbul's Beykoz district, is a sixteenth-century Ottoman külliye commissioned by the military judge Kazasker Gazi İskender Pasha. Designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan and built in 1559–60, the mosque features a distinctive hipped roof. Standing across from the Kanlıca Pier, the structure has undergone extensive reconstruction over the centuries. The tomb of İskender Pasha remains housed within the mosque's courtyard.
