Masjid Yusof Ishak, also known as Yusof Ishak Mosque, is a mosque in Woodlands, Singapore. It opened on 14 April 2017 and was named after Singapore’s first President, Yusof Ishak. The project cost about S$18 million and can hold about 4,500 worshippers. It was announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in 2013 and officially opened by the President’s widow, Madam Noor Aisha, in 2017, with guests including the Prime Minister and Yaacob Ibrahim.

The design blends traditional mosque features with Nusantara heritage, inspired by President Ishak’s official and private residences. Unlike many mosques, it does not have large pillars or a dome, and it has a contemporary look reminiscent of a Malay house.

Facilities include an elderly-friendly prayer space, a multi-purpose hall, a conference room, a large auditorium, seminar rooms, and a roof terrace. The mosque is accessible from Woodlands South MRT station and is the 26th mosque built under the Mosque Building and Mendaki Fund programme. Address: 10 Woodlands Drive 17, Singapore 737740.
