The Al-Hannanah Mosque () is a Shi'ite mosque in Najaf, Iraq. This mosque is also called Masjid ar-Raʾs (), meaning "Mosque of the Head" (of Husayn ibn Ali), because Husain's head was kept in its middle, when being brought to his opponent Ubayd Allah ibn Ziyad, according to a hadith (narration) attributed to his descendant, Ja'far al-Sadiq.
