Abdullah al-Mehdar (?–2010) was an Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) member who was the leader of a cell in Yemen. On 13 January 2010 it was reported that he had been killed in a gunfight by Yemeni security forces in the governorate of Shabwa. The fighting was so intense that it partially destroyed his home. A few days after his death, two Yemeni soldiers were killed in what was believed to be a reprisal for Mehdar's death.
