Algeria Square Mosque or Jamal Abdul Nasser Mosque (Arabic: جامع جمال عبد الناصر), formerly Tripoli Cathedral (Italian: La Cattedrale di Tripoli; Arabic: كاتدرائية طرابلس), is a mosque and former Roman Catholic church located in Tripoli, the capital of Libya. It is situated on the Algeria/Elgazayer Square (Maidan al Jazair/Maydan elgazayer) then Piazza della Cattedrale^[1] in the city centre.

It was constructed as a cathedral in the 1920s during the Italian Libya colonial era, and converted into a mosque in 1970,^[2] with the St. Francis Pro-Cathedral now serving as temporary cathedral for the Apostolic Vicariate of Tripoli.
