Mga (Russian: Мга) is an urban-type settlement in Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Population: 9,613 (2002 Census); 9,852 (1989 Census).
The name Mga comes from the initials of the owner of the land in the 19th century. Her name was Maria Gregorevna Apraksin. She was a member of the same family for which the Apraksin Dvor in St. Petersburg is named.
There is a train from St. Petersburg that passes through Mga leaving from the Moskovskiy and Ladozhskiy train stations in the eastward direction. This train also serves many other settlements in this region, and is used for travel to summer houses (Dachas) by many St. Petersburg residents during the warmer seasons.
