The Juyushi Mosque (Arabic: الجامع الجيوشى, lit. 'Mosque of the Armies') is a historic monument in Cairo, Egypt. The mosque is dated from 1086 CE, during reign of the Fatimid Imam-Caliph al-Mustansir Billah. Its construction was sponsored by Badr al-Jamali, the vizier of al-Mustansir, who was Amir al-Juyush (Arabic: امير الجيوش, lit. 'Commander of the Armies'). It is located on the Muqattam hills above the Southern Cemetery of Cairo.
