Konak Mosque ({{langx|tr|Konak Camii}}), also called Yalı Mosque, is a mosque in İzmir, Turkey. It is located on Konak Square in the heart of the city next to the Governor's Mansion and the İzmir Clock Tower. Despite its relatively small size, it is considered one of the landmarks of the city for its distinctive octagonal shape and elaborate tilework.[http://www.goturkey.com/content.php?cid=51974&lng=en&typ=c Izmir Daily Excursions][http://www.izmirde.biz/?Bid=589584 İzmir Tarihi Yerler, Camiler]

The Mosque was constructed in 1755 under the patronage of Ayşe Hanım, the wife of Katibzade Mehmed Pasha who governed İzmir at the time. The outer tiles were brought from Kütahya. It has a single dome and minaret and unusually for a mosque, only one entrance.{{Cite web |url=http://www.izmirkulturturizm.gov.tr/belge/1-87501/camiler.html |title=İzmir Camileri |access-date=2012-08-19 |archive-date=2017-01-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116144259/http://www.izmirkulturturizm.gov.tr/belge/1-87501/camiler.html |url-status=dead }} The interior is lit by a chandelier by Ümran Baradan.{{Cite web |url=http://www.milligazete.com.tr/haber/cinili-kosk-teki-avize-artik-yali-camii-ni-aydinlatacak-182330.htm |title=Çinili Köşk’teki Avize Artık Yalı Camii’nin aydınlatacak, Milli gazete, 16 November 2010 |access-date=19 August 2012 |archive-date=24 November 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124175945/http://www.milligazete.com.tr/haber/cinili-kosk-teki-avize-artik-yali-camii-ni-aydinlatacak-182330.htm |url-status=dead }}
