Mleh I, also Meleh I,[1] (before 1120 – Sis, May 15, 1175)[2] was the eighth lord of Armenian Cilicia[1] or “Lord of the Mountains”[2] (1170–1175).[2]

The accomplishments during the reign of his elder brother, Thoros II placed Cilicia on a firm footing.[1] But Mleh, whom Thoros II had expelled from Cilicia for converting to Islam, almost undid his brother's work.[1]

On the death of his brother, Mleh invaded Cilicia with the support of a contingent from Aleppo, which remained in his service and assisted him to drive out the Knights Templar and Greeks from the fortresses and, in 1173, the cities which they held in Cilicia. Soon after the death of Nur ed-Din (the emir of Aleppo),[3] Mleh was overthrown by his nephew, Roupen III.[1]
