The Mohammad Al-Amin Mosque (Arabic: جامع محمد الأمين), also referred to as the Blue Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque, located in downtown Beirut, Lebanon.

In the 19th century, a zawiya was built on this site. Decades of preparation to obtain sufficient land adjacent to the old Zawiya led finally to the building of the new mosque. The mosque was inaugurated in 2008, and is located adjacent to the Maronite Cathedral of Saint George.
