The Hajji Bendo Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Haxhi Bendos) or Haji Bedo Mosque (Xhamia e Sopotit) is an Ottoman-era former mosque built before the 17th century inside the Borsh Castle on the Sopot hill of Himara, Albania. Badly damaged in the 20th century by the Greeks, it is now in a ruined state. Its reconstruction and the restoration of the mosque as a whole did not get the approval by law from the municipality (bashkia) of Himara.
