Sancaklar Mosque, also known as Sancaklar Camii in Turkish, is a mosque in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, Turkey. It was designed by architect Emre Arolat. The architectural creation was conceived in response to the Sancaklar Family's desire to construct a mosque in a location that offered scenic views of Buyukcekmece Lake, situated within a neighborhood adorned with numerous gated communities. The mosque covers 700m² on a 1300m² site.
Finished in 2012, it received the 2015 Religious Building of the Year Award from ArchDaily. In the 2018 BBC series Civilisations, classicist Mary Beard described it as "one of the most striking religious creations of modern times" and "one of the most startling mosques in the world". It also won the RIBA Award for International Excellence in 2018.
