Bodrum Mosque (, or Mesih Paşa Camii named after its converter) in Istanbul, Turkey, is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans.It must not be mistaken for the Mesih Mehmed Paşa Camii, which is another mosque founded in the late sixteenth century. The church was known under the Greek name of Myrelaion ().The identification of the church could be done thanks to the precise description given by Petrus Gillius in his topographic work about Constantinople.
