San Pablo Villa de Mitla, commonly known as Mitla, is a town in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico, known for its significant pre-Hispanic archaeological site. The town's name comes from the Nahuatl word "Mictlan," meaning "place of the dead" or "underworld."

The archaeological zone of Mitla features remarkable ancient Zapotec architecture with distinctive geometric patterns and intricate mosaics that demonstrate the sophisticated artistic and architectural abilities of pre-Columbian civilizations. The site served as both a religious center and an important political hub for the Zapotec civilization.
