The Attarine Mosque (Arabic: مسجد العطارين), also known as the Al-Juyushi Mosque (Arabic: الجامع الجيوشى) is a historic mosque located in Alexandria, Egypt. It was built on the site of a former church dedicated to Athanasius of Alexandria which was later dedicated to Saint Sabbas. The present structure of the mosque dates back to the early 20th century, and much of its original foundation has been lost, save for an inscription on a stone which commemorates Badr al-Jamali, one of the renovators of the mosque.
