Zafar Khan Ghazi Mosque and Dargah (Bengali: জাফর খাঁ গাজী মসজিদ এবং দরগাহ), officially known as Dargah of Zafar Khan (Bengali: জাফর খাঁ দরগাহ) is one of the earliest surviving Muslim monument in Bengal. The mosque was built by Zafar Khan Ghazi, a general of Delhi in 1298 AD (696 AH). The tomb of Zafar Khan, built in 1315 AD (713 AH) is the earliest extant of mausoleum in eastern India. The original structure was also probably used as a madrassa.
