The Mesih Mehmed Pasha Mosque is a 16th-century Ottoman congregational mosque in Istanbul's Fatih district, completed in 1585–86. Commissioned by Mesih Mehmed Pasha, a grand vizier under Murad III, it was designed by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan. The structure exemplifies Ottoman architectural principles of its era and forms part of a külliye complex. Now recognized as a cultural property requiring protection, it remains a significant monument of Ottoman religious architecture.
