The Bahram Jung Mosque (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.), also known as the Nandanam Mosque, is a Sunni mosque located in the Nandanam neighbourhood of Chennai, in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. The mosque was constructed between 1789 and 1795 by Muhammad Abdullah Qadir Nawaz Khan Bahadur Bahram Jung, a poet in the court of Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah, the Nawab of the Carnatic.^[1]

Bahram Jung and his younger brother, Hafiz Ahmad Khan, who constructed the Hafiz Ahmad Khan Mosque, incurred huge expenses on part of the Carnatic state that on the death of Wallajah's successor, Umdat ul-Umara, the lands belonging to the brothers were confiscated by the East India Company.^[1]

Completed in the Mughal style, the architecture of the mosque reflects the grandeur of Islamic design during the Mughal period. The mosque has many intricate carvings and ornate decorations.^[2]

The mosque is situated adjacent to Anna Salai, an arterial road.
