The Maghsoudbeyk Mosque (Persian: مسجد مقصودبیک; Arabic: مسجد مقصودبيك), also known as the Maqsud Beyk Mosque and as the Zolamat Mosque, is a Shi'ite mosque, located on Zolamat Alley near the northeastern corner of Naqsh-e Jahan Square, in Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran.
The mosque was established in 1010 AH (1601/1602 CE) and opened the following year, by the order of Maghsoudbeyk, a wealthy steward of Abbas I. There is an inscription in the mihrab which is one of artworks of Ali Reza Abbassi, a calligrapher of the Safavid era. It's said, after that Shah Abbas was very satisfied with this inscription, he ordered Ali Reza Abbassi to work on the inscriptions of Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque.
