The an-Nāranj Pool (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "lang"., Template:Literally) is a small pool in the al-Aqsa Mosque Compound. It is at the compound's western esplanade, between the Fountain of Qasim Pasha (Script error: No such module "lang".) and the Fountain of Qayt Bay (to its south).

It was also known as Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and Script error: No such module "lang". (Script error: No such module "Lang".); both are phonetic variations of Script error: No such module "lang"..[1]

It was built in the Ottoman period.[1][2] It was restored during the reign of Sultan Qaitbay and again in 1527 by Qasim Pasha, a governor of Jerusalem. In 1922, the Supreme Muslim Council reconstructed the pool, paved it with marble and encircled it with banisters. The pool is seven metres wide.[3]
