The '''Defterdar Mosque''', or the '''Defterdar Mahmut Efendi Mosque''' ({{lang-tr|Defterdar Camii, Defterdar Mahmut Efendi Camii}}), is 16th century [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] mosque located in [[Eyüp]], [[Istanbul]], [[Turkey]]. It was commissioned by [[Defterdar]] [[Nazlı Mahmut Efendi]] (c. 1500-1546) and built by architect [[Mimar Sinan]] in 1542 ("defterdar" was the head of the financial department in [[Ottoman Empire]]). Instead of a [[crescent]], this mosque has "ink pot and pen" on top of its dome, representing the profession of the founder of the mosque. (since "defterdar" means chamberlain, literally it means defter:notebook + dar:suffix for "doer"). The original pair was broken by a storm in 1997. Ten years later, on 30 May 2007, a new inkpot and a pen assembled on top of the dome of the mosque.<ref> Cumhuriyet (Newspaper), 3 June 2007, page 15 {{tr icon}}</ref>
