Vefa Kilise Mosque (Turkish: Vefa Kilise Camii meaning the church mosque of Vefa to distinguish it from the other kilise camiler of Istanbul: also known as Molla Gürani Camii after the name of his founder) is a former Eastern Orthodox church converted into a mosque by the Ottomans in Istanbul. The church was possibly dedicated to Hagios Theodoros (St. Theodore in Greek: Ἁγίος Θεοδόρος τά Καρβουνάρια) but this dedication is far from certain.
