The Arifile Mosque (Bengali: আড়িফাইল মসজিদ, Arabic: مسجد عارفايل) is a mosque, located in Sarail Upazila, in the Brahmanbaria District of Bangladesh.[1][2] Founded by Shah Arif in 1662, the name of the mosque was derived from Arif, and now named Arifile; also known locally as the Arail Mosque. The mosque was completed in the Mughal style, which combined Bengali, Persian and Islamic architectural influences.

Arifile Mosque is located 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) from Brahmanbaria District and 0.5 kilometres (0.31 mi) northwest from Sarail Upazila.
