T'hal (Armenian: տհալ) is a traditional Armenian meat dish made from thoroughly fried meat preserved under a thick layer of rendered tail fat. It was traditionally intended for long-term storage. In earlier times, the meat was kept in clay jars buried in the ground; later, glass and porcelain containers were used.

T'hal can be prepared from beef, lamb, pork, or poultry.
