Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Mosque (Arabic: مسجد الشيخ محمد بن إبراهيم) is a Sunni Islam mosque in the ad-Dirah neighborhood of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located south of Souq al-Zal in the Qasr al-Hukm District.

It was established in 1773 by Abdullah bin Muhammad Al Sheikh as the Dakhna Grand Mosque (Arabic: مسجد دخنة الكبير) in the Dakhna quarter of the former walled town and later got evolved into a center of learning for Hanbali Sunni scholars. Named after Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al ash-Sheikh, it is one of the oldest existing mosques in Riyadh and was demolished and rebuilt on numerous occasions throughout the 20th century, with the latest renovation having taken place in the period 2001–2005 during the third phase of the Qasr Al Hukm District Development Project.
