The Battle of Alcalá de Henares (August 1009), was a battle of the Fitna of al-Andalus that took place in Alcalá de Henares near Madrid, between the Middle March forces of the Caliphate of Córdoba under general Wadih al-Siqlabi against the allied Berber-Castilian forces supporting Sulayman ibn al-Hakam's rebellion against Caliph Muhammad II of Córdoba.
