Katra Masjid stands on the north-eastern side of Murshidabad in West Bengal, India, and combines a mosque, a tomb and a former caravanserai. Its founder, Nawab Murshid Quli Khan, is buried beneath the steps of the main entrance. The complex served as a significant centre of Islamic learning and could accommodate around 700 readers at a time, making it one of the largest caravanserais of the Indian subcontinent. Its most striking features are two large corner towers fitted with loopholes for musketry. The complex is now partly in ruins and is protected as a Monument of National Importance.

The complex was built by Murshid Quli Khan in the early 1720s, when the Bengal Subah was a major trading hub in Eurasia. Sources give the date of construction as 1723–1724 or 1724/1725. The founder was buried beneath the steps of the main entrance.
The 1897 Indian earthquake caused significant damage to the structure. Since 1910 the site has been maintained and protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, together with the Government of West Bengal.
