Shahi Mosque (Punjabi: شاہی مسیت; Urdu: جامع مسجد شاہی) is a historic 17th century mosque located in Chiniot, Punjab, Pakistan.[1][2]
Constructed between 1646 and 1655, the Mughal Grand Vizier Saadullah Khan is traditionally identified as its builder; accordingly he built the mosque at the place where he had received his education.[1][3] However, the 17th-century poet Mita Chenabi attributes its construction to Nawab Hifzullah Khan, the son of Saadullah Khan, when he was the deputy-governor of Punjab.[4]

It was constructed with the local dark grey stone known as Chinioti stone, and was designed and built by the local architects.[5] It consists of three domes and four minarets.[6]
