The blast happened when hundreds of people had gathered for Friday prayers at the mosque in Ghundi village, near the town of Jamrud in the north-west Khyber tribal district.
Dozens of people were also injured, with more deaths feared.
Taliban and al-Qaeda militants are active in the restive tribal region along the Afghan border.
