Green Lane Masjid & Community Centre (GLMCC), is a mosque in Birmingham.[3] It has been a registered charity in England since 2008.[4] The Masjid occupies a prominent corner site in Green Lane, Small Heath, Birmingham.

The complex includes prayer halls for men and women, a community hall, madrasah, library, shop, and some accommodation. It also provides funeral services to the local Muslim community.[5] In a 2007 national competition to find the country's 'Model Mosque' run by the British Islam Channel,[6][7][8] the mosque came second, behind the Madni Jamia Masjid.
