Abu Muhammad Mazdali ibn Tilankan (Arabic: أبو محمد مزدلي بن تيلانكان) (d. March 1115) was a Berber military commander and diplomat for the Almoravid empire. Once Yusuf ibn Tashfin decided to become independent, he chose Mazdali, his second cousin and made him one of his most effective collaborators, to subdue and pacify the Maghrib and al-Andalus.
