The Nur ul-Ihsan Mosque (Khmer: ម៉ាស្ជិឌព្រែកប្រធាតុ) was, until 2018, the oldest mosque in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. It was situated 7 km north of the centre of the city.

It was built in 1813^[1] by the Cham community. It survived the Khmer rouge regime which transformed it into a pigsty.^[2]

In 2018 it has been destroyed and replaced by a mosque called the KM7 Mosque, a Middle Eastern design financed by a donation from Kuwait.^[3]
