The Mosque of Umar ibn al-Khattab (Arabic: مسجد عمر بن الخطاب) is a Sunni Islam mosque, located within the historic city of Dumat al-Jandal in the Al Jawf Province of Saudi Arabia. The mosque is named after the Rashidun caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab, who is believed to have constructed the mosque, although this claim has been contested. The mosque's minaret is the first of its kind to be built in North Arabia as well.
Adjacent to the mosque is the historic Marid Castle which dates from around the 1st century CE.
