Eskişehir Mevlevihanesi, an old Mevlevi lodge located within the Kurşunlu Complex in the Paşa neighborhood of the Odunpazarı district of Eskişehir.

Founded in the early 16th century by Çoban Mustafa Paşa, it is situated in the southeast of the complex also built by Mustafa Paşa. It has a single-domed semahane and 20 dervish cells. The mosque within the complex has been used as a semahane since 1855.

Since it was an important center in its period, the Mevlevihanesi, referred to as an asithane, had its activities terminated in 1925 under the law concerning the closure of tekkes, zawiyas and tombs and the prohibition and abolition of certain titles, when its last sheikh was Bahaeddin Dede.
