The Qilijiyya Madrasa is an Ayyubid school in the old city of Damascus, one of the many madrasas built in the streets south of the Umayyad Mosque in the thirteenth century. It is recorded in the medieval inventories of the city's monuments. The madrasa stands in the dense commercial quarter between the Umayyad Mosque and Straight Street, close to Souq al-Bzouriyah, Khan As'ad Pasha and the Azem Palace.
