The Bou Inania Madrasa or Bu 'Inaniya Madrasa (Arabic: المدرسة البوعنانية, romanized: al-madrasa ʾabū ʿinānīya) is a madrasa in Fez, Morocco, built in 1350–55 by the Marinid sultan Abu Inan Faris. It is the only madrasa in Morocco which also functioned as a congregational mosque. It is widely acknowledged as a high point of Marinid architecture and of historic Moroccan architecture generally. The main building, located on the south side of Tala'a Kebira street, consists of a courtyard surrounded by galleries with student quarters built on the second floor above. The courtyard is also flanked by two classroom chambers and precedes a wide prayer hall.
