The Siege of Málaga (1065-1066) was a military conflict that took place between the year 1065 and 1066 in the city of Málaga that was under the rule of the Taifa of Granada, between the Taifa of Seville forces commanded by the Abbadid dynasty Prince Al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad and the Taifa of Granada under the rule of Badis ibn Habus. The siege led by Al-Mu'tamid was to support an Arab uprising in the city against Berber rule, Al-Mu'tamid ibn Abbad captured the city without its citadel offering its garrison time to be reinforced from Granada under Badis ibn Habus, which drove away the Abbadids restoring the city once again under Zirid rule.
