The Putra Mosque ({{langx|ms|Masjid Putra}}; Jawi: {{Script/Arabic|مسجد ڤوترا}}) is the principal mosque of Putrajaya, Malaysia. Construction of the mosque began in 1997 and was completed two years later.
It is located on Putra Square and is adjacent to man-made Putrajaya Lake.
The pink-domed Putra Mosque is constructed with rose-tinted granite and consists of three main functional areas – the prayer hall, the Sahn, or courtyard, and various learning facilities and function rooms. The mosque can accommodate 15,000 worshippers at any one time.{{cite web|title=Putra Mosque|url=http://www.tourism.gov.my/en/my/web-page/places/states-of-malaysia/putrajaya/putra-mosque|work=Tourism Malaysia|access-date=25 May 2014}}
