Sulttaani Ahmedin moskeija, Sininen moskeija on moskeija Istanbulissa. Se on Turkin kansallismoskeija ja yksi niistä moskeijoista, joista käytetään nimitystä Sininen moskeija, sillä niiden sisusta on verhoiltu sinisillä laatoilla. Se on rakennettu vuosina 1609–1616 Ahmed I:n valtakaudella Jumalan lepyttämiseksi kehnon sotaonnen jälkeen. Kuten moskeijoissa usein, sielläkin on sen perustajan hauta, koraanikoulu eli madrassa ja vierasmaja. Sulttaani Ahmedin moskeija on Istanbulin merkittävimpiä nähtävyyksiä. Wikipedia
