Mercha kefula (Hebrew: מֵרְכָא כְּפוּלָה, with variant English spellings) is a rare cantillation mark that occurs 5 times in the Torah (once in Genesis, once in Exodus, once in Leviticus, and twice in Numbers) and once in the Haftarah (for Behaalotecha and for the intermediate Shabbat for Chanukah, in the Book of Zechariah.)
The Hebrew words מֵרְכָא כְּפוּלָה translate into English as double mercha. This name is given since the mark that is used appears like two merchas.
