The Federal Territory Mosque (Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan) is a breathtaking Sunni mosque located in the Segambut district of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, near the MATRADE complex and the Federal Government Complex off Jalan Tuanku Abdul Halim. Built by the government between 1998 and 2000, it stands as the 44th mosque constructed within city limits on a expansive 5-hectare (12-acre) site along Jalan Duta.
It officially opened to the public in October 2000 and was officiated in February 2005 by the 12th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin ibni Almarhum Syed Putra Jamalulail.
