Yusuf Agah Mosque is an Ottoman-era mosque in the Kasımpaşa quarter of Beyoğlu district, Istanbul. It was commissioned by Moralı Yusuf Agah Efendi. The building was later reconstructed in reinforced concrete and has therefore lost its original architecture. The complex includes an ablution fountain (şadırvan), a toilet block and shops, and the roof is covered with tiles. The Tomb of Turabi Baba stands on the same road, while the Kalyoncu Barracks and the building of the Naval Ministry (Bahriye Nezareti) are located opposite the mosque.
