Mehdi Taouil (Arabic: مهدي طويل) (born 20 May 1983 in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, Val-de-Marne) is a French-born Moroccan football player who plays as an attacking Midfielder for Azerbaijan Premier League side AZAL.
Taouil was born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, France to a Moroccan father and an Algerian mother.
During the early stages of his career he played for Nancy and 1. FC Nuremberg but was limited to only infrequent games.
Taouil played for Montpellier in Ligue 2, joining the club on a two-year contract in June 2005, before being released at the end of the 2006/07 season. During his time there he made 48 league appearances scoring three goals.
He then signed a one-year deal at Scottish side Kilmarnock in October 2007. On his Kilmarnock debut he was warmly greeted by the fans in a 1–0 loss to Motherwell and was voted as Kilmarnock's Man of the Match. He scored his first goal in the game against Hibernian on 26 December 2007 at Rugby Park, which ended in a 2–1 victory for the Ayrshire side.
Taouil was linked with a transfer to SPL rivals Hearts, but in July 2008 he signed a three-year deal with Kilmarnock. Following the release of Gary Wales, Taouil was given the number 10 shirt for the new season.
