The Mardinli Mosque (Azerbaijani: Mərdinli məscidi, lit. 'Merdinli Mosque'; Arabic: مسجد ماردينلي) is a former Shia Islam mosque, now in ruins, located in Shusha, in the Karabakh region of Azerbaijan about 350 km (220 mi) from Baku, the Azerbaijani capital.

The former mosque is located on intersection of Sadigjan and Garasherov streets of the Mardinli neighborhood of Shusha. The Mardinli neighbourhood is one of eight upper and earlier neighbourhoods of Shusha. The Mardinli Mosque was one of seventeen mosques functioning in Shusha by the end of the 19th century.
