The Al-Rahman al-Rahim Mosque or el-Rahman el-Raheem Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الرحمن الرحيم) is a mosque in Cairo, Egypt. It is located in the Abbassiya neighborhood, on Salah Salem Street.

Completed in 2009, the mosque was funded by an Egyptian businessman[clarification needed] and is famous for its Islamic motifs from various Islamic architectural styles.
