The Agha Bozorg Mosque (Persian: مسجد آقابزرگ, romanized: Masjed-e Āghā Bozorg) is a mosque and madrasa in Kashan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran. The mosque and madrasa is located in the center of the city.
An inscription dates the building form 1248 AH (1832/1833 CE), with other evidence pointing that the mosque was built between 1844 and 1850 by master-mi'mar Ustad Haj Sa'ban-ali in honor of Mulla-Mahdi Naraqi II, known as Āghā Bozorg. The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 3 December 1951, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
The complex is a major tourist attraction of the area; and is located adjacent to the Khaje Taj od-Din Mausoleum, that was completed during the 15th century CE.
