Miʼkal (Arabic: بلدة معكال, romanized: baldah Miʿkāl, lit. 'Miʼkal township') is an ancient village and a historical neighborhood that is a subject of Baladiyah al-Batha in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located between ad-Dubiyah and al-Wusaita. The town came into existence when Hajr al-Yamamah disintegrated up into several settlements and estates in the 16th century (10 AH), the most notable of them being Migrin (or Muqrin) and Mi'kal. Its name reportedly comes from two pre-Islamic Arabian deities, Kāl and Miʿkāl (Arabic: كال ومعكال) that were worshipped in Najd.
