The Crystal Mosque is a landmark mosque in Kuala Terengganu. It was built as part of the RM250 million Taman Tamadun Islam project. The mosque was constructed between 2006 and 2008 off Pulau Wan Man, an islet on the Terengganu River. It was opened by the Sultan of Terengganu, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, who is also the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia.

It is within the Public Area of Taman Tamadun Islam, along with other features such as the Bbeteng Restaurant & Food Court, Convention Centre, Tok Ku Paloh Jetty, Guest Houses and Warrior Park, and on the opposite end of Taman Tamadun Islam from the Monument Park.
