Saiyad Usman Mosque and Tomb, Indo-Islamic mosque and tomb in Ahmedabad district, India.

The Saiyad Usman complex contains a mosque with minarets at each end and a tomb featuring a dome supported by twelve pillars.

The mosque was completed in 1460 by Sultan Mahmud Begada, following the death of Saiyid Usman, who founded the village of Usmanpura.

The structure represents the merging of Indian and Islamic architectural elements during the medieval period of Gujarat's religious development.

The Archaeological Survey of India restored the building in 2009 after it sustained damage during the 2001 Gujarat earthquake.

The interior arrangement displays an intricate system of pillars that differs from typical mosque layouts of the same period.
