The Mirahori Mosque (Turkish: İmrahor İlyas Bey Camii) is a historic mosque in Korçë, in south-eastern Albania, known in Ottoman times as Görice. It is named after its founder, İlyas Bey, who bore the title imrahor, meaning master of the stable. In Albanian it is called Xhamia e Iljaz Bej Mirahorit, or simply Xhamia e Mirahorit. Built in the Ottoman style as a single-domed mosque, it is protected as a Cultural Monument of Albania. It is described as the second-oldest surviving mosque in the country after the King's Mosque in Elbasan, and as Albania's oldest single-domed mosque. Single-domed mosques were fairly common across the western Balkans.
