The Fatih Camii was a mosque in Constantinople.

Fatih Camii was built by the Turks just after the conquest of Constantinople, and was the first mosque of Ottoman origin in the city.

The name was coined from Ottoman Turkish words fātiḥ, meaning "conqueror", and camii, meaning "mosque", resulting in "Conqueror's Mosque".
