The Chengdu Huangcheng Mosque (Chinese: t=成都皇城清真寺|s=成都皇城清真寺|p=Chéngdū Huángchéng Qīngzhēnsì|l=Mosque in the Imperial City Wall of Chengdu) is a mosque in Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. It is the largest mosque in Sichuan.
Huangcheng means Palace Wall because of the mosque location near to a palace of a dynasty in the local history of Sichuan, thus the mosque was name such.[1]
The mosque was originally constructed in the 16th century. It was first rebuilt in 1858. In 1917, it was heavily damaged during a war. Subsequently, the size was reduced from 6,600 m2 to 5,000 m2 due to financial constraint. The mosque stands at its current site since November 1998.[2] [3]

It consists of the entrance wall, gates, bathroom, library and the main prayer hall.[2] The library consists of Islamic books written in Arabic and Chinese languages. On the first gate, there is a tablet with the name of the mosque hung. On the second gate, there is a tablet with four Chinese characters Kai Tian Gu Jiao hung, which was made during the Qing dynasty.[1] The mosque houses the headquarters of the Islamic Association of Sichuan Province.[2]
