Khakimovskaya Mosque, Ufa, Regional cultural heritage site in Ufa, Russia.

Khakimovskaya Mosque is a brick building at 11 (9) Mustaya Karima Street in Ufa, originally with two minarets on a tall three-tiered base. Each minaret was made of two stacked cylinders of different diameters, decorated with relief ornament, and the mosque reached 18 m in height. The minarets were demolished in 1939 and the interior was rebuilt; restoration is now under way.

A first petition to build a cathedral mosque on Beketovskaya Street was filed in 1904; resolution No. 114 of 17 March 1906 authorised construction to a plan approved on 7 September 1906. The Tatar merchant Abdulatif Abdulkhakimovich Khakimov financed the brick building, erected in 1907–1908 next to his own house, and also paid for the Khakimiya madrasa west of it. The first khatib was Muhametgady Fakhretdinov, and on 19 October 1908 the parish was entered in the metric book. On 9 February 1930 the Bashkir Central Executive Committee ordered the mosque closed; the building passed to the Labour Commissariat that September, became a factory club for the "8 March" factory in 1934, and lost its minarets in 1939.

The mosque takes its name from the Tatar merchant Abdulatif Abdulkhakimovich Khakimov, who funded its construction next to his own house and donated the mosque and the madrasa "Khakimiya" west of it to the Orenburg Muslim Spiritual Assembly. On 22 October 1913 the mosque's trustees petitioned to grant him the title of hereditary honorary citizen of Ufa for this gift and his work for the city's Muslim community.

The building is not an active mosque: it was closed in 1930 and is now being restored with support from the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims and the Russian Islamic University of Ufa. It stands at 11 (9) Mustaya Karima Street, the former Beketovskaya Street, and the planned women's madrasa for 300 students is not yet open. Check access before visiting, as reconstruction work is under way.

The mosque's two minarets stood on a tall three-tiered base, each formed of two stacked cylinders of different diameter and decorated with relief ornament; the building reached 18 m in height. The minarets were demolished in 1939, and the interior was completely rebuilt.
