The Et'hem Bey Mosque is a mosque in Tirana, Albania, known for its frescoes outside and inside the portico which depict trees, waterfalls and bridges.

Closed under communist rule, the mosque reopened as a house of worship in 1991. Without permission from the authorities, 10,000 people attended and the police did not interfere. The mosque consists of an architectural complex together with the Clock Tower of Tirana. Today, tours of the mosque are given daily, though not during prayer service. Visitors must take their shoes off before entering the inner room.
