The Yeni Mosque is a historical mosque in Thessaloniki, Greece. It was built by Italian architect Vitaliano Poselli in 1902 for the city's Dönmeh community, crypto-Jewish converts to Islam. However, when the Donmeh left the city during the population exchange between Greece and Turkey, it was used to house the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki in 1925. Today, it serves as an exhibition center.

In April 2024, for the first time after 102 years, the mosque opened for the city's Muslim population on the occasion of the Ramazan Bayram.
