The Fatimid Mosque, also known as the Mosque of Fatima, is one of the historic mosques of Busra. It dates back to the Fatimid period, when Busra was a frontier town of the Fatimid state, and remains one of the town's surviving early Islamic buildings alongside the Umari and Mabrak mosques. The mosque has a prayer hall of three transverse arches and a tall square minaret that was added later. It stands among the basalt ruins of the old town, between the cathedral and the Monastery of Bahira, a short walk from the Mabrak Mosque and Busra Citadel.
