Misilmeri () is a town and (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. It is approximately from Palermo, and is located in the Eleuterio Valley on the southern slopes of Montagna Grande.
Misilmeri dates from the Muslim emirate of Sicily: the village rose around a castle (today known as , or "Castle of the Emir") founded by emir Jafar II (998–1019). Its name derives from Arabic (), meaning "the resting place / messuage of the Emir". In 1068, the Battle of Misilmeri was fought between the Normans and Arabs.
