Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque is a mosque at Europa Point, Gibraltar. It is also known as the King Fahd bin Abdulaziz al-Saud Mosque, or the Mosque of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Both names refers to King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, as he took the title of "Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques", of Mecca and Medina, some time in the early 1980s. It was a gift from the king for the use of the 2000 inhabitants of Gibraltar who are Muslims. The mosque took two years to build and cost five million pounds.

The Ibrahim-al-Ibrahim Mosque has an underground tank believed to have existed since the time of the Moors. This underground tank is located on a flat ground beside the mosque. The area was known as Nun's Well, and according to theory, it could have gotten that name because of the nuns from the Shrine of Our Lady of Europa could have used it during early times.
