Mecca Masjid, also called Makkah Masjid, is a mosque located in Hyderabad in the state of Telangana, India. It is the largest mosque in the city, and one of the largest in the country, with a capacity of 10,000 worshippers. The mosque was built during the 17th century, and is a state-protected monument. It was completed by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1694 CE. It serves as the primary mosque for the Old City of Hyderabad, and is located close to the historic landmarks of Charminar, Chowmahalla Palace and Laad Bazaar.

Muhammad Qutb Shah, the sixth ruler of the Qutb Shahi dynasty, commissioned bricks to be made from the soil brought from Mecca, the holiest site of Islam, and used them in the construction of the central arch of the mosque, thus giving the mosque its name.

In 2014, UNESCO placed the complex on its "tentative list" to become a World Heritage Site, with others in the region, under the name Monuments and Forts of the Deccan Sultanate (despite there being a number of different sultanates).
