The Al-Burtasi Mosque (Arabic: مسجد البرطاسي) is a mosque, located in Tripoli, in the Northern Governorate of Lebanon. The Burtasi mosque is considered one of the most beautiful Mamluk mosques in Tripoli. It is distinguished by its minaret and by its dark stone front decorated by black lines and white ornamentation.
The inscription on the main gate does not provide the date of its construction. The mosque was built between 1290–1324.
The minaret and three domes are distinguishing features of the mosque.
The qibla wall is lined with marble, with the mihrab in the center. The mihrab is decorated with glass mosaic, which is rare for mosques in Tripoli. In front of a golden background, a goblet is shown that holds green acanthus.
