Abbad II al-Mu'tadid (or Abu Amr Abbad; died February 28, 1069) was second ruler (reigned 1042–1069) of Seville in Al-Andalus, a member of the Abbadid dynasty.
His father was Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad who established the taifa (kingdom) of Seville and hence, when his father died he became the Muslim ruler of Seville in 1042. He initially had peaceful relationships with his neighbour Ferdinand I of Castile, and tolerated the Christian faith in his lands. Among the others, he authorized the transfer of Saint Isidore's relics from Seville to the Basilica of San Isidoro of León.
al-Mu'tadid expanded his lands by conquering numerous Islamic taifas (emirates-kingdoms), including those of Mértola (1044-145), Huelva (1051), Algeciras (1055), Ronda (1065) and Arcos (1069). He also fought against the Zirids of Granada and the Aftasids of Badajoz, but with no conclusive results. In 1063 Ferdinand of Castile and León appeared with an army on the outskirts of Seville, and Abbad saw itself forced to acknowledge his suzerainty and to pay him tribute.
His reign ended in 1069 with his death.
