Ahi Çelebi Mosque, Ottoman congregational mosque in Eminonu district, Istanbul, Turkey.

The Ahi Çelebi Mosque features a rectangular design with a central dome supported by two arches and six smaller domes covering the entrance porch.

Built between 1480 and 1500, the mosque underwent reconstruction by architect Sinan after a fire in 1539 and subsequent restorations following fires and earthquakes.

The mosque holds significance as the location where Evliya Çelebi experienced a vision that initiated his extensive travels throughout the Ottoman Empire.

The mosque stands at the intersection of Yogurtçular Street and Değirmen Street, maintaining regular prayer services for the local community.

The structure bears the name of Ahi Çelebi, an Ottoman physician who served as chief doctor for Sultan Bayezit II and endowed his fortune for its construction.
