Masjid Tanah is a town in Melaka, Malaysia. The name Masjid Tanah originates from a mosque (masjid) built from soil (tanah). The town has been inhibited since mid 1500 A.D starting from a small village. It is the one of the largest town in Malacca. In the late 90's, the value of real estate in Masjid Tanah was quite a boom when the government decided to built an oil refinery owned by Petronas near the town. It has many beaches in Pengkalan Balak, 7 km away, and is in close proximity to Tanjung Bidara and Kuala Sungai Baru.
