The Pertev Mehmet Paşa Mosque (), also known as Yeni Cuma Cami (), is a mosque located in the town of Izmit, in the province of Kocaeli, Turkey.

Overview Designed by Mimar Sinan and completed in the 16th-century Ottoman style, the mosque was built for Pertev Mehmed Paşa, an Ottoman vizier during the reigns of sultan Suleyman I and Selim II. The construction was finished in 1579.

The mosque is part of a larger Külliye complex that included a madrasa, hammam, caravanserai, fountain, and a lower education school. The mosque has a single domed structure and the dome has 24 windows. The minaret was damaged during the 1999 İzmit earthquake.
