Mġarr is a rural village in the Northern District of north-western Malta, surrounded by farmland near Golden Bay and Għajn Tuffieħa. It is known for the Ta' Ħaġrat and Skorba megalithic temples and its domed parish church dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady.

Mġarr later developed as a farming village, long associated with crops such as strawberries, and its domed parish church of the Assumption was built largely through local effort in the 20th century.
