The Taifa of Mértola (Arabic: طائفة مارتلة) was a medieval Islamic Moorish taifa that existed in what is now southeastern Portugal.

From 1044 until 1091 it was under the forcible control of the Taifa of Seville, by Abbad II al-Mu'tadid.

[1] Its short-lived history ended in 1151, when it was finally conquered by the Almohad Caliphate.
