Taşeli's Invasion (1225) was an invasion movement that included a series of fortress sieges that were part of the Cilicia Campaign of Kayqubad the Great (1225).

With the beginning of the campaign, Ertokus, who had the task of attacking the Armenians from the coast and preventing the Cyprus Crusaders from disembarking, took action from Antalya. He conquered nearly 40 castles such as Manavgat, Anamur, Aydos and Aydusanc. The Franks, unable to withstand the power of the Turks, evacuated the castles, boarded ships and fled to Cyprus.[2][3][4]
