The Mosque of Salman al-Farsi is a mosque located in the city of Salman Pak, Al-Mada'in district, in the province of Diyala, in the Baghdad Governorate of Iraq. It contains the tomb of Salman the Persian, a Persian companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and one of the most prominent non-Arab members of the early Muslim community. After the establishment of Iraq's separate Sunni and Shia endowment offices, the mosque was removed from the Sunni endowment and placed under Shia management.
