The Minaret of Xian of Taman Tamadun Islam, Kuala Terengganu, is a replica of an Islamic monument in the city of Xi'an, China. The minaret is part of the Great Mosque of Xi'an, which is the oldest and most renowned mosques in China.

Unlike minarets of other countries, the Minaret of Xian takes the appearance of a Chinese pagoda. It is belived to have been built along with the mosque around AD 742, just over a century after Islam was founded. As such, it was constructed before Islamic architectural style took hold in China. The minaret was used by the Hui people, a minority ethnic group who are Muslims.
