An-Nukhailah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد النخيلة) is an historic Twelver Shi'i mosque in the town of al Kifl, Iraq. The mosque is a large complex built over a former Jewish site. The building contains Ezekiel's Tomb (Arabic: مرقد نبي الله ذي الكفل), which is believed to be the tomb of the Quranic prophet Dhu al-Kifl, who is traditionally considered to be Ezekiel.
