The Hohola Mosque is a Sunni Islam mosque in the National Capital District of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. It is the first mosque in the country.

History The construction of the mosque began in 2001, following a land donation from the government to a local Islamic community. The building construction started in 2004 and was completed in 2007, and was the first mosque established in the country. Much of the mosque's funding came from Malaysia and Saudi Arabia. In 2018, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad visited the mosque after attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference.
