The Al Mahdi Mosque is an Ahmadi Muslim mosque in Bradford, England. The mosque was built at a cost £2.5 million entirely from voluntary donations of British Ahmadi Muslims. The mosque was opened on 7 November 2008 by Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the current and fifth caliph of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.^[1] With a capacity of 2,000 worshippers, it is among the largest in the city.^[1] The inauguration was attended by many Ahmadi Muslims and over 300 guests.^{[citation needed]} Located in Rees Way, Bradford, the mosque lies on a plateau, and therefore the mosque is visible from miles around within the city.^{[citation needed]}

In 2014, the mosque was the host of BBC Radio 4's topical debate programme Any Questions?.^[2]
