Suraya Mosque, the first mosque in Mexico

This is a list of notable mosques in Mexico (Arabic: Masjid, Spanish: Mezquita), including Islamic places of worship that do not qualify as traditional mosques.

As of 2018, there are more than 10 established mosques in Mexico.[1] Muslim-friendly facilities are not widely available, there are a few prayer facilities spread across the country. These Muslim-friendly facilities are used by the local Muslim community, and increasingly by Muslim tourists.[1]
