The Amir Chakhmaq mosque (Persian: مسجد امیرچخماق), also known as Dahouk mosque (Persian: مسجد دهوک), is a historical mosque from the Timurid era in Yazd, in Iran. It was built on orders of Jalal ed-Din Amir Chakhmaq Shami, who was the governor of Yazd and a general of Shahrukh Mirza. The mosque was completed in 1438. From the viewpoint of aesthetics, dimension and importance, it is one of the most outstanding buildings in Yazd.[1]
The mosque is located south of Amir Chakhmaq Complex. There are inscriptions made of mosaic in Thuluth script of Mohammad al-Hakim on the eastern entrance.
During the era of Fath Ali Shah, Hossein Attar added a part to its shabestan and restored some parts of the mosque.
