Sheikh Ahmad-e Jami mausoleum complex (Persian: مجموعهٔ آرامگاهی شیخ احمد جامی) is a collection of religious buildings, mosques, houses and tombstones all around the central tombstone of Sheikh Ahmad-e Jami, Iranian Muslim sufi who lived between 1048 and 1141 in Torbat-e Jam, Khorasan, Iran.

Entering to the mausoleum is through a wooden door beautifully decorated in Kufic script. The mausoleum complex is over 800 years old.

The shrine complex has now been renovated with private and public funds from Iran's Cultural Heritage Organization. As a shrine for a Sunni Sufi cult, the shrine-complex started sliding into decline when Iran's Shahs took the Shiʿi path in 1501, but is today enjoying a renaissance. Two seminaries (madrasa) that teach Sunni curricula to males and females have also been added.
