Mize is an old English term for a type of land-based assessment, similar to a property tax, paid to the local nobility during the Middle Ages. It was common in areas of northwestern England such as Cheshire. In more modern times the term has been used to describe a type of property-based tithe in parishes in Wales.

Mize is also a surname, borne by people as early as the 1500s in Lancashire, but now found primarily in the Southern and Western United States. Possible etymologies include Celtic ("field"), or Germanic ("bird"). -->Mize may refer to:
