Marājil (; d. 786) was an umm walad of caliph Harun al-Rashid and mother of caliph al-Ma'mun.
==Biography== Marajil was a Persian slave concubine of Abbasid prince Harun (future Caliph Harun al-Rashid). According to one account, she had entered the Abbasid household as a prisoner of war. Marajil was raised in the Abbasid household before being given as a concubine to prince Harun. She was one or two years younger than Harun.
