Sidray ibn Wazir was a commander of the Banu Wazir family in the west of al-Andalus who, in the revolt against the Almoravids in 1144, took Beja and Évora and ruled them as a taifa. His kinsmen took Badajoz in 1145. These short-lived second taifas were absorbed by the Almohads in the following years.
