            The Muhammad Rahim Khan Madrasah (Uzbek : Muhammad Rahimxon madrasasi) is a Madrasah in Itchan Kala, the historic old town of Khiva, Uzbekistan. It is part of the UNESCO world heritage.

The Muhammad Rahim Khan Madrasah is one of the largest in Khiva, and is located directly opposite the Konya Ark citadel. It has a size of 62 meters by 50 meters. It was built in 1871 on behalf of Khan Said Muhammad Rahim II (reign 1863 to 1910), who was also a well-known poet under the pseudonym Feruz Shah.
It was built as the last of the large madrasahs in Khiva. The rectangular building has a courtyard with four iwans. There are also small towers on the corners. The large entrance portal has a complicated vestibule with a five-span arcade. The student quarters of the madrasah are covered with Balkhi type domes. In addition to the living rooms, the madrasah also has utility rooms. There is a domed mosque in the south wing.
