Mügeln is a town and municipality in the district Nordsachsen, in the Free State of Saxony, Germany. It is located 9 km southwest of Oschatz and 14 km northwest of Döbeln.

Mügeln lies almost equidistant between Leipzig and Dresden, at a distance of approximately 50 km from each town. Mügeln is not directly situated on any main traffic routes, but 10 km south of Mügeln one encounters the A14 motorway, and 10 km to the north one encounters the B6 federal highway, close to Oschatz. In addition, there is a tourist narrow gauge railway, the Wild Robert (Wilder Robert) which is operated by the Döllnitzbahn company as one of its attractions. The nearest railway station is in Oschatz.

The comparatively flat countryside around Mügeln is mostly used for agriculture, and comprises moderately large fields for the growing of crops. A number of man-made lakes are an occasional feature, the largest of which is situated in and around a forested area of some 30 km², less than 7 km to the north-west. The forested area effectively surrounds the neighbouring village of Wermsdorf on all sides except the south, which faces towards Mügeln. Wermsdorf has a quarry to the north-east of its boundary, and well maintained historical buildings to visit.

In 1994 Mügeln became part of the district Torgau-Oschatz, which was merged into the new district Nordsachsen in 2011. Mügeln absorbed the former municipalities Altmügeln, Crellenhain, Berntitz and Schlagwitz in 1959, Schweta in 1994 and Sornzig-Ablaß in 2011.
