Al-Qantara Mosque (), also known as Al-Madhoun Mosque () or Qabil Mosque () is a now abandoned 19th century Ottoman-era historical mosque in the al-Mathnah neighborhood of Ta’if, Saudi Arabia. Built during the time of Sharif Abd al-Muttalib ibn Ghalib, the mosque is believed to be constructed upon one of the sites where Prophet Muhammad and Zayd ibn Harithah took rest in an orchard while on their way back to Mecca in the aftermath of their expulsion by the leaders and residents of Ta’if in around 620 during the Year of Sorrow.
