The Taifa of Lisbon (from Andalusian Arabic: طائفة الأشبونة, romanized: Ṭāʾifa al-Ušbūna) was a medieval Islamic Arab Taifa kingdom of the Gharb al-Andalus or Western al-Andalus. It was located in Lower March, the northwestern section of al-Andalus. The Taifa was ruled by the Banu Khazraj.

The taifa encompassed the Lisbon region of what is now Portugal from 1022 to 1094.
