Malin to Mizen (or Mizen to Malin) is the traversal of the entire length of the island of Ireland between its two extreme points: Mizen Head in County Cork (the island's most southerly point) and Malin Head in County Donegal (the most northerly).

The route is attempted by cyclists, runners, walkers, and motorists, and is sometimes undertaken to raise money for charity or as a personal endurance goal.

As the crow flies, the two points are about 466 km (290 mi) apart. The shortest practical road route measures roughly 569 km (354 mi), while most modern traverses cover between 600 and 640 km (370 and 400 mi) depending on the chosen course.
