Aiwan-e-Iqbal (Urdu: ) is an office complex and monument in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan under the administrative control of Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage.
The building is named after the poet-philosopher Allama Muhammad Iqbal, a leader of the Pakistan Movement who is widely credited with sparking the pan-Islamic thought among the Muslims of the subcontinent in the 20th century. Ceremonies in his honour are sometimes held in the building.
