__NOTOC__
Joel was a 15th-century king of the Christian kingdom of Makuria in late medieval Nubia.
Joel is one of the last kings of Christian Nubia in the historical record. He is known from a graffito in the Faras Cathedral, an inscription in the Church of Tamit, a 1484 letter from the settlement Gebel Adda, and an additional inscription. That multiple attentions survive may be of significance.
Joel ruled shortly before the remaining Christian states in Nubia vanished. He had at least one vassal, "King Tienossi" ()Database of Old Nubian Texts, Text 1544. of Ilenat.
