The '''Ilchi Mosque''' ({{langx|fa|مسجد ایلچی}}; {{langx|ar|مسجد إيلجي}}) is a [Shi'ite](/source/Shia_Islam) [mosque](/source/mosque) in [Esfahan](/source/Isfahan_(city)), in the province of [Isfahan](/source/Isfahan_Province), [Iran](/source/Iran). The founder of this small and simple mosque was Saheb Soltan Beigom, the daughter of a courtier in the [Shah Suleiman](/source/Suleiman_I_of_Persia)'s court. In [Azeri](/source/Azerbaijani_language), the word ''Ilchi (elçi)'' means messenger. The mosque was built in 1686 [CE](/source/Common_Era) under the supervision of Mohammad Ali ben Ostad ALibeyk.<ref>{{cite book |title=Rāhnamā ye Safar be Ostān e Esfāhān |trans-title=Travel Guide for the Province Isfahan |publisher=Rouzane |isbn=964-334-218-2 |author=Yaghoubi, Hosseyn |editor=Beheshti, Arash |page=105 |language=Persian |year=2004}}</ref>
