The Şehitlik Mosque is a Sunni mosque in Neukölln, Berlin, Germany, operated by Ditib.
Completed in 2005, the mosque building was designed in an Ottoman revival style by Hilmi Şenalp. The four storied building can house 1500 worshipers. The complex also includes a cultural center, and an information and meeting center.
The mosque took its name from the Turkish cemetery, which was laid out as a diplomatic cemetery back in 1866. Among the graves of honor there are those for the Armenian genocide perpetrators Cemal Azmi and Bahattin Şakir, which was criticized by Kurdish-German politician Giyasettin Sayan in 2005.
