The Mosque Katip Sinan Qelebi (Albanian: Xhamia e Çatip Sinanit), also known as "Katip Çelebi" (Turkish: Sinan Katip Camii),[1] is located on the Adem Jashari Street in Prizren, Kosovo. Katip means "secretary" in Turkish. It may be named after Katip Çelebi[2] but it also may be named like the Plaošnik mosque in Ohrid,[3] which was named after Sinaneddin Yusuf Çelebi, short form Sinan Çelebi, from the Ohrizâde family.[4]

It was supposedly built in 1591.[5][6] It was repaired in 1893–94 based on an inscription.[7]
