The White Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Bardhë) is a ruined mosque in Berat Castle, Berat, Albania. From the small, roughly square mosque there are still about a meter high foundation walls and the base of the minaret, a little over two meters high. It was built with white limestone.

It became a Cultural Monument of Albania in 1961.[1]
