The Battle of Arjona (1041) was a battle that took place near the city of Arjona in Al-Andalus between the Taifa of Granada forces ruled by Badis ibn Habus under command of Vizier Samuel ibn Naghrillah against the two well-known Andalusian Commanders Wasil and Muwaffaq supporting a Zirid rebel "Yaddyr" nephew of Habbus al-Muzaffar. The battle resulted in a victory for the Taifa of Granada forces and later capture of Yaddyr marking an end to his threat to Badis ibn Habus's throne.
