Jarchi Mosque

The Jarchi Mosque (; ) is a Shi'ite mosque located in the Great Bazaar (Bazaar-e-Bozorg) of Esfahan, in the province of Isfahan, Iran.

The mosque was added to the Iran National Heritage List on 20 December 1937, administered by the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Iran.
