The Mudéjar Architecture of Aragon is a World Heritage Site in Spain. The site was originally called Mudéjar Architecture of Teruel. It consisted of four churches in Teruel inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1986: Cathedral of Santa María de Mediavilla, Churches of San Pedro, San Martín and of the Saviour.

In the 1990s, the inhabitants of Zaragoza remarked that there were other, not less notable examples of the Mudejar style in Aragón, which had been excluded from the site. Consequently, in 2001, the site was renamed to its present title and expanded with six monuments in Zaragoza and its province: Santa María in Calatayud, Santa Tecla in Cervera de la Cañada, Santa María in Tobed, Palacio de la Aljafería, Church of San Pablo, and La Seo Cathedral in Zaragoza.
