The '''Huasi Mosque''' ({{zh|s=华寺清真寺|p=Huá Sì Qīng Zhēn Sì|l=Multicoloured Mosque}}) is a mosque located in Linxia City, Gansu, China.

== Overview == The mosque was built during the reign of the Chenghua Emperor (r. 1465–1487) in the Ming dynasty.

It was constructed by Muslims living in West Phoenix Wood Town, now the Bafang areas of Linxia City.

The mosque was reconstructed in 1941 and is capable of holding 2,000 people and is {{convert|5|m2}} in area.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BwuSpFiOFfYC&pg=PA119 |title=China's Muslim Hui community: migration, settlement and sects |author=Dillon, Michael |year=1999 |publisher=Curzon Press |location=Richmond |page=119 |isbn=0-7007-1026-4}}</ref>
