The Khan Mohammad Mridha Mosque is a historic mosque on Lalbagh Road in Dhaka, Bangladesh, less than half a kilometre west of Lalbagh Fort. Its architectural style is recorded as Mughal. The building stands on a large raised platform measuring about 38.10 metres from north to south and about 28.96 metres from east to west, rising 5.18 metres above ground level. Beneath the platform are vaulted chambers on every side except the east. On the east side a staircase leads to a gateway aligned with the mosque's main entrance, giving access to the top of the platform. The mosque contains two Persian inscriptions, one over the central passage and one at the central mihrab.
