Mirga is a feminine given name used primarily in Lithuania. The name is most visible in contemporary Lithuanian culture through individuals in the arts and public life. The best-known bearer is Mirga Gražinytė-Triumph (born 1986), a Lithuanian conductor who has pursued an international career.

In English-language contexts, Mirga is primarily encountered as a proper name rather than a common noun with a defined meaning. There is no widely used definition of mirga as a term outside of personal names, and reliable etymological information is limited. The entry remains a stub and could be expanded if additional verifiable sources document other notable uses or linguistic meanings of the name.
