Hakim Mosque (Persian: مسجد حکیم) is one of the oldest mosques in Isfahan, Iran. Completed in the mid-17th century, in the Safavid era, it is named after Moḥammad-Dāvud Khan Ḥakim (a ) who funded the construction.^[1]

The mosque was constructed between 1656 and 1663 and retained the "standard four ayvan plan and a two-storey arcade" At the same time, however, it also bore a more simple structural pattern and brick and tile surface compared to the ones that had been erected under Abbas I (r. 1588-1629).
