The Purani Mosque, previously known as the Daudpur Jama Masjid, is a mosque located in the village of Dewaitha, in Dildarnagar Kamsar, in the Ghazipur district of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Built by Sarkar Dewan Raja Daud Khan Zamindar in 1606 CE, the mosque is one of the oldest historic monuments in Ghazipur.

Daud Khan built this mosque in the village. The Purani Masjid was the third-largest mosque by area in Kamsar. The mosque campus is spread over 2,000 square metres (0.5 acres). When the mosque was built in 1606, its minaret was 19 m (62 ft) high, the tallest in Ghazipur and Kamsar. Later the minarets became weak so they were demolished and renovated in the 1890s. Now the minarets are 20 m (65 ft) high.
