The Jame Masjid and Islamic Centre is located on Coventry Rd in Birmingham, England. It includes a two-hall mosque, with a capacity of 2,000, and a separate building for the Darul Uloom, an Islamic school.

Saddam Hussein, then president of Iraq, gave two million pounds towards its construction, and until 2003 it was known as the Saddam Hussein mosque. Other donors included the Saudi government.

In 1991, during the Gulf War with Iraq, the building suffered an arson attack which did £15,000 worth of damage.
