How many mosques are there in the US?
The Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) ran the most recent known national count of American mosques and found 2,769 in 2020, a 31% increase over the 2010 count. Most are in states with large metro areas: New York, California, Texas, Illinois and New Jersey.
Our directory does not claim to be complete. We collected mosques from OpenStreetMap, a volunteer-built map whose coverage is better in large cities than in small towns. Use the table to see where mosques are concentrated, not as an exact count.

How to find a mosque near you
- Start with your state: click it in the table to see mosques grouped by city, with addresses and phone numbers where available.
- Check prayer times: our prayer times pages for 60+ US cities also list nearby mosques.
- Call before Jumu'ah: khutbah times differ between mosques, many hold two Friday prayers, and times shift with daylight saving.
- Ask about the language: some mosques give the khutbah in Arabic, others in English, Urdu or Somali.
Is your mosque missing?
If you run a mosque or Islamic center, add it for free from the business directory, or press "Claim this listing" on its page to add Jumu'ah times, classes and contact details. We review owner submissions before publishing.
