'''Takla Maryam''' ({{lang-gez|ተክለ ማርያም}}), throne name '''Hezbe Nagn''' ({{lang-gez|ሕዝበ ናኝ}}) was [[Emperor of Ethiopia]] from 1430 to 1433, and a member of the [[Solomonic dynasty]]. He was the second son of [[Dawit I]].<ref>Derat, [[:wikidata:Q112548186|Marie-Laure. Derat]] 2010. Täklä Maryam. Edited by Siegbert Uhlig and Alessandro Bausi. Encyclopedia Aethiopica.

[[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".<ref>C.F. Beckingham and G.W.B.
