Jami-Ul-Alfar Mosque is a historic mosque in Colombo, Sri Lanka. It is located at Second Cross Street in Pettah. The mosque is a popular tourist site in the city.

Jami-Ul-Alfar Mosque was built in 1909 by the Pettah Muslim community to fulfill their required five-times-daily prayer and Jummah on Fridays. It is one of the oldest mosques in Colombo.

Before other landmarks were built, some claim that the Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque was recognized as the landmark of Colombo by sailors approaching the port.
