Takla Maryam ({{langx|gez|ተክለ ማርያም}}), throne name Hezbe Nañ ({{langx|gez|ሕዝበ ናኝ}}) was Emperor of Ethiopia from 1430 to 1433, and a member of the Solomonic dynasty. He was the third son of Dawit I.Marie-Laure Derat 2010. Täklä Maryam. Edited by Siegbert Uhlig and Alessandro Bausi. Encyclopedia Aethiopica. Wiesbaden: Harassowitz.

Manoel de Almeida remarks that the descendants of Takla Maryam had been taken from Amba Geshen by Emperor Zara Yaqob and "exiled to hot lands where there are many diseases"; when his son Emperor Baeda Maryam I, early in his reign, attempted to redress this injury by recalling them from exile, they slew his messengers. Although Baeda Maryam I promptly took punitive measures (which included decapitating 80 of their members), in de Almeida's day they were "still rigorously watched".C.F. Beckingham and G.W.B. Huntingford, Some Records of Ethiopia, 1593-1646 (London: Hakluyt Society, 1954), pp.101f.
