The Punto Fijo Mosque (Spanish: Mezquita de Punto Fijo) is a mosque located in the city of Punto Fijo on the Paraguaná Peninsula, in the autonomous municipality of Carirubana in the northern part of Falcón State, Venezuela.[1][2][3]

It was established in 2008 owing to the growth of the Muslim community near the duty-free area of Paraguaná.[4][5]

In 2012, during the events surrounding the Amuay Refinery incident, the Muslim community showed solidarity by collecting and donating supplies of food and clothing.
