The Muhafiz Khan Mosque is a fifteenth-century mosque located in the city of Ahmedabad in the state of Gujarat, India. It is considered to be one of the more exceptional structures in the city. The mosque was constructed in 1465 by Jamail-ud-Din Muhafiz Khan during the reign of Mahmud Shah I (1458–1511), and is considered to be an excellent example of Gujarat Sultanat architecture. It is named for the governor of the region at that time.
