Mika Myllylä (born September 12, 1969 in Haapajärvi). is a former Finnish cross country skier who competed from 1992 to 2005. He won six medals at the Winter Olympics, earning one gold (1998: 30 km), one silver (1994: 50 km), and four bronzes (1994: 30 km, 4 x 10 km; 1998: 10 km, 4 x 10 km).
Myllylä also won a total of nine medals at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, winning four golds (1997: 50 km, 1999: 10 km, 30 km, 50 km), three silvers (10 km + 15 km combined pursuit: 1997, 1999; 4 x 10 km relay: 1997), and two bronzes (10 km: 1995, 1997).
