Moth ki Mosque (Urdu: موتھ کی مسجد, romanized: Moth-ki Masjid, lit. 'Lentil Mosque'; [moʈʰ kiː masdʒɪd]) is a 16th-century mosque located in the South Delhi district of India. The mosque was built in 1505 by Wazir Miya Bhoiya, Prime Minister during the reign of Sikander Lodi of the Lodi dynasty. It was a new type of mosque developed by the Lodis in the fourth city of the medieval Delhi Sultanate. This mosque was considered a beautiful domed (gumbad) structure of the period.
The mosque is in the modern locality of South Extension Part II, Uday Park, and Masjid Moth, comprising residential and commercial establishments in the urban setting of South Delhi. It is surrounded by various other smaller dargahs and monuments that may be found peppered within the urban village. The mosque is a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India.
