The Monar Jonban (Persian: منار جنبان, romanized: Menar-e-jomban, lit. 'Shaking minarets'; Arabic: منارجنبان), is a mosque and mausoleum, located in Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran.
It was intended as a shrine, built over the grave of the Sufi ascetic Amu Abdullah Suqla. Construction started in the Ilkhanate era and it was finished during the Safavid era. The most notable feature of the building are its two minarets, that both shake and sway when one of them is shaken.
The structure was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 10 June 1942, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
