King Abdulaziz Mosque (Arabic: جامع الملك عبدالعزيز), is a historic Friday mosque in the al-Murabba neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located next to the Murabba Palace compound and the National Museum Park in the King Abdulaziz Historical Center. Covering an area of 5540 square meters, it was first built around the 1940s, corresponding with the construction of Murabba Palace.
