Miʼkal or Maʼkal (Arabic: بلدة معكال, romanized: baldah Maʿkāl, lit. 'Maʼkal township') is an ancient village and a historic neighborhood in southern Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, located 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 Ma'kal. Its name reportedly comes from two pre-Islamic Arabian deities, Kāl and Maʿkāl (Arabic: كال ومعكال) that were worshipped in Najd.
