The Red Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia e Kuqe) is a ruined mosque in Berat Castle, Berat, Albania. It is a Cultural Monument of Albania since 1961.^[1]

The mosque is located just outside the citadel within the castle of Berat. The mosque was built in the 15th century and was one of the oldest mosques in the country.

The basic dimensions were 9.9 to 9.1 meters and had a wooden roof. It was built with red bricks and limestone. The minaret is unusually on the left of entrance.
