The Taifa of Jerez was a medieval taifa Moorish kingdom in what is now southern Spain. Established in 1145, it existed until it was conquered by the Almohad Caliphate.

Jerez remained under Muslim rule until 1261. Following the collapse of the Almohad Caliphate, it emerged as an independent enclave until conquered by Castile.
