The Maungdaw Myoma Mosque is a mosque located in Maungdaw, Rakhine State, Myanmar.

In 2012, during heightened riots in Rakhine State, the mosque was closed along with several other religious sites.[1][2][3] It was briefly reopened in April 2024 by the State Administration Council junta, but was closed down by the Arakan Army after it captured Maungdaw on 8 December 2024. The mosque was officially reopened on September 12, 2025, after the Arakan Army commander-in-chief Twan Mrat Naing's visit in which he met with the local Muslim leaders[4][5][6][7]

It served as a central place of worship for the Muslim community of Maungdaw before its closure.[8]
