Union Mills (Manx: Mwyllin Doo Aah) is a village in the parish of Braddan on the primary road which connects Douglas and Peel in the Isle of Man.

The name of the village was known from 1511 as Mullin Doway (The Mill on the Black Ford). In 1807 a cloth mill was added to the original corn mill by William Kelly. The new company was called 'Flail and Fleece United' and card money issued by the company with the inscription "I promise to pay the Bearer on demand Five Shillings British. (Wm. Kelly) Union Mills (4 Sept. 1811)."

Union Mills village is situated between the 2nd and 3rd milestones on the Snaefell Mountain Course on the primary A1 road and is part of the Isle of Man TT course used since 1911.
