The Mausoleum of Khawaja Ahmed Yasawi (Kazakh: Қожа Ахмет Яссауи кесенесі Qoja Axmet Yassawï kesenesi) is an unfinished mausoleum in the city of Turkestan in southern Kazakhstan. The structure was commissioned in 1389 by Timur who ruled the area as part of the expansive Mongol Empire to replace a smaller 12th-century mausoleum of the famous Turkic poet and Sufi mystic Khoja Ahmed Yasawi (1093–1166).
