Roza Bal, Rouza Bal, atau Rozabal adalah sebuah kuil yang terletak di kawasan Khanyar, wilayah pusat kotaSrinagar, Kashmir, India. Kata roza artinya makam, kata bal artinya tempat.[4][5][6][7][8] Warga lokal meyakini bahwa seorang bijak dimakamkan disana, Yuz Asaf,[2] bersama dengan waliMuslim lainnya, Mir Sayyid Naseeruddin.
Kuil tersebut relatif tak diketahui sampai pendiri gerakan Ahmadiyyah, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, mengklaim pada 1899 bahwa tempat tersebut sebenarnya adalah makam Isa Almasih.[2][3] Pandangan tersebut diyakini oleh umat Ahmadiyah pada saat ini,[1][2][3] meskipun ditolak oleh warga Sunni lokal, yang salah satunya menyatakan bahwa "teori soal Isa dimakamkan di tempat manapun di muka bumi adalah penistaan terhadap Islam."[9]
