Ahmed Çelebi Mosque, located in Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi Neighborhood of the Üsküdar district of Istanbul, is a historic mosque from the Ottoman period. It was commissioned by Ahmed Çelebi, a philanthropist of the era. Construction of the mosque began in 1566, and after a one‑year building process it was opened for worship in 1567. Architecturally, the mosque reflects Ottoman influences.

The mosque burned in 1771 and 1796 and was rebuilt.

It was built as a mosque in the original plan. The mosque remained among the apartment buildings. The area where the mosque is located was referred to as Ahmed Çelebi Neighborhood until the regulations of 2008. The mosque is very close to Aziz Mahmud Hüdayi Mosque. The patron of the mosque, Ahmed Çelebi, is buried in front of the mihrab.
