Mullion (Cornish: Eglosvelyan) is a village and civil parish in the Kerrier district of Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. It is the largest village on the Lizard peninsula. The parish encompasses the large village of Mullion (known as Mullion Churchtown) and four smaller settlements, Mullion Cove and Predannack to the South West, and Trewoon and Meaver to the East. The parish also encompasses a small uninhabited island approximately half a mile offshore from Mullion Cove, home to large colonies of seabirds and owned by the National Trust. Mullion is bordered by the parishes of Gunwalloe and Cury to the North, Grade-Ruan to the East, Landewednack to the South, and by the sea to the West. The village is approximately six miles South of the town of Helston, and is reached by the A3083 Helston to Lizard road.

James Erisey was born at Erisey House near Mullion. He was a famous British Naval man who sailed with Drake. Like Drake, the Spanish considered him an outlaw pirate, but to England he was simply a sailor and privateer.
