The Clock Mosque (Albanian: Xhamia me Sahat), Abdurrahman Pasha Mosque or Peqin Mosque is a Cultural Monument of Albania, located in Peqin.

It was built in 1666 by Abdi Pasha the Albanian and resembled the Et'hem Bey Mosque in the Albanian capital Tirana. The mosque is located in the central square of the old town at the main route between Durres and Elbasan. Later destroyed by a fire, it was rebuilt in the 1830s by an Abdi Pasha's descendant, Cafer Sadık Pasha. Its minaret and its dome were destroyed in 1970 by the communist dictatorship under Enver Hoxha. The mosque was reconstructed in 1992.
