The Emad o dolah Mosque (Persian: مسجد عمادالدوله, romanized: Emad o dolah Masjid; Arabic: مسجد عماد الدولة), also spelled as the Emadodoleh Mosque, is a mosque located in the city of Kermanshah, in the province of Kermanshah, Iran. The mosque was completed in 1868 CE, during the Qajar era, in the reign of Naser al-Din Shah.[1][2][3]

The mosque has suffered damage as a result of earthquakes in the region.[4] The square minaret is unusual in that it has a clocktower on the side facing the sahn.

The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 2 January 2008, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
