Djamaa el Kebir (Arabic: الجامع الكبير, romanized: djama' el-kebir), also known as the Great Mosque of Algiers (French: Grande mosquée d'Alger), is a historic mosque in Algiers, Algeria. It is located within the Casbah (old city), near the city's harbor. Dating to 1097, it is one of the few remaining examples of Almoravid architecture, although it has undergone other additions and reconstructions since its foundation. It is the oldest mosque in Algiers and is said to be one of the oldest mosque in Algeria after Sidi Okba Mosque and Sidi Ghanem Mosque.
