The Mausoleum of Moulay Isma'il (Arabic: ضريح المولى إسماعيل) is a historic Islamic funerary complex in Meknes, Morocco.It contains the tomb of Sultan Moulay Isma'il, who ruled Morocco from 1672 until his death in 1727, and is located inside his former Kasbah (citadel).
The mausoleum is a square chamber which holds the tombstones (mqabriyas) of Moulay Isma'il (died 1727), his son and successor Ahmad ad-Dhahabi (died 1729), and the later sultan Moulay Abd ar-Rahman (died 1859).
