Jama Masjid, Biloli is a congregational mosque located in Biloli, in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

The mosque facade contains five arched entrances with low piers, above which is a deep chajja. An arcaded parapet runs across the length of the facade, interspersed with miniature minarets corresponding with the piers of the arches. The facade is broken in the middle by a flying arch, which connects the two miniature minarets in the center.
