The Ghana National Mosque is a mosque in Ghana. It is the second largest mosque in West Africa.]
The mosque was built at a cost of $10 million. It was funded by the Turkish Hudai Foundation in Accra with the support of the Turkish government.

The construction began in 2012. Osman Nuhu Sharubutu in his speech claimed Jerry John Rawlings and others helped in the securing of the land for the realization of the project for Muslims in Ghana. In 1995, JJ Rawlings gave out the land to replace a mosque he destroyed for the building of Rawlings Park in Accra. The project was started by the Muslim Community in Ghana and was abandoned close to 10 years because of lack of funds.

Architecture and features
The mosque is built in an Ottoman revival style with four signature minarets towering about 65m above the ground. It is claimed to be a replica of the Blue Mosque. It is made of carrara marble exterior fittings. The upper levels of the interior of the mosque are dominated by blue paints, with stained glass windows with designs. The inner decorations are made of handdrawn calligraphic verses of the Quran. The floors are covered with carpets. The mosque has a mihrab made from sculptured marbles, with a stalactite niche and a double inscriptive panel above it. The exterior feature is arranged with cascade of domes around the main dome.
