The Banu Taghlib (), also known as '''Taghlib ibn Wa'il''', were an Arab tribe that originated in Nejd some time during the late 3rd century. An Adnanite tribe, they hailed from the Rabi'a, and settled with their kinsmen Banu Bakr in al-Jazira around the late 6th century.
The tribe embraced Miaphysite Christianity and remained largely Christian long after the advent of Islam in the mid-7th century, although most members had converted to Sunni and Shia Islam by the mid 9th century. The Shia branch, particularly, eventually came to found the Hamdanid dynasty.
