Masjid Jamek Baru Gopeng or Gopeng New Mosque is a community mosque located off Jalan Gopeng (Gopeng Road) in the town of Gopeng, Mukim Teja of the Kinta District, Perak Darul Ridzuan, Malaysia. It was built to provide larger space for the local Muslims to pray particularly Friday Prayers due to the insufficient of space in the previous Masjid Jamek Gopeng. Furthermore the convenient location of the mosque and its more proper space planning makes it is the right decision for many to held religious activities at this mosque instead of the old mosque.
Earlier, there was no minaret built for the mosque. However, a minaret was built to complete the mosque after a very long halt. A cendol kiosk will be around weekly for the Friday Prayers. The only disadvantages of the whole project is the exit point from the compound is excessively narrow and extremely congested during Friday Prayers and there are no proper zebra crossings for people to cross the road. It is dangerous for pedestrians particularly the Gopeng senior folks.
