The Ahmed Bey Mosque (Greek: Τζαμί Αχμέτ Μπέη, from Turkish: Ahmet Bey Camii), also known as the Sheikh Ilahi Mosque (Greek: Τζαμί του Σεΐχη Ιλαχή), is a historical mosque of the Ottoman period in the town of Giannitsa, in northern Greece. It was built in the fifteen century by Ahmed Bey, the grandson of Gazi Evrenos, the conqueror of Thrace and Macedonia and founder of the town. Today it stands in very poor condition, and entrance to it is difficult due to all the plant life that covers it. It is one of the three surviving mosques in Giannitsa today, out of the twenty that existed once.
