Kartalab Khan Mosque, Mughal mosque in Old Dhaka, Bangladesh.
The Kartalab Khan Mosque stands on a raised platform with five domes supported by octagonal drums and features traditional brick construction methods.
Built between 1700 and 1704 by architect Murshid Quli Khan, the mosque underwent substantial renovation in the nineteenth century under Mirza Golam Pir's direction.
The mosque maintains active religious services while its ground level contains market spaces that generate funds for mosque maintenance.

The structure includes a stepped well to the east, representing the only example of such architectural elements in the Bengal region.
