Al-Azim Mosque (Malay: Masjid Al-Azim) is the state mosque of Malacca. It is located next to the Malacca General Hospital, the Malacca Al-Quran Museum and the State Heroes Mausoleum (Malay: Makam Pahlawan Negeri) and was constructed to replace the former state mosque at Tranquerah Mosque and officially opened on 13 July 1990 by the ninth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Azlan Shah of Perak.
The state mosque follows typical Malaccan mosque architecture in the Malay style of the archipelago. The interior of the mosque also shows native influence and local Malacca Malay architecture.
