The Fuzhou Mosque (Chinese: 福州清真寺; pinyin: Fúzhōu Qīngzhēnsì) is a mosque in Gulou District, Fuzhou City, in the Fujian Province of China. It is located under the Ankang Bridge in Fuzhou. Following a fire, the mosque was rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty.[1][2][3][4][5]

Set on a 1.4-hectare (3.5-acre) site, the mosque was completed in 628 CE, in the second year of Zhenguan, during the Tang dynasty. The internal area of the mosque is 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft) with a 400-square-metre (4,300 sq ft) prayer hall. Renovations were completed in 1407 and 1549. The majority of the worshipers are from Hui, Uygur, Uzbek and other backgrounds.[6]

The mosque is within walking distance north of Nanmendou Station of Fuzhou Metro.
