The '''Ibn Marwan Mosque''' ({{langx|ar|جامع ابن مروان}}, transl: ''Jami' Ibn Marwan'') is a [[Mamluk]]-era [[mosque]] in [[Gaza City|Gaza]], [[Palestine]] in the midst of a cemetery in the [[Tuffah]] neighborhood,<ref>Sharon, 2009, p. [https://books.google.com/books?id=P2LtyFVNJmcC&pg=PA31 31]</ref> relatively isolated from the rest of the city.<ref>Palestine Oriental Society, 1929, p.221.</ref>

==History==
Inside is the tomb of a holy man named Sheikh Ali ibn Marwan who belonged to the Hasani family. The Hasani family came from [[Morocco]] and settled in Gaza where Ibn Marwan died in 1314 CE. The cemetery is also named after Ibn Marwan. The mosque itself was built in 1324. The Ibn Marwan Mosque contains an oratory and the stones of the tombs in the adjacent cemetery are believed{{by whom|date=November 2023}} to contain historical inscriptions.<ref>Sharon, 2009, pp. [https://books.google.com/books?id=P2LtyFVNJmcC&pg=PA35 35], [https://books.google.com/books?id=P2LtyFVNJmcC&pg=PA92 92]-94, [https://books.google.com/books?id=P2LtyFVNJmcC&pg=PA205 205] -207</ref>
