Milde is a peninsula and neighbourhood in the city of Bergen, Norway.

Located in Ytrebygda borough, Milde is situated about 16 km from the city centre of Bergen. As a basic statistical unit Milde had a population of 516 as of January 1, 2008.[1] Milde has been settled for a long time, there being evidence of cultivation of grain since c. 100 AD, while the cultural landscape dates back to c. 200 BC. The Milde peninsula has been surrounded by water on all sides since 1996, when a channel was built between the bays of Vågsbøpollen and Vestrepollen.[2]

The modern neighbourhood is built upon the lands of the two farms that historically have made up Milde, namely Store Milde and Lille Milde. The Arboretum and Botanical Garden in Bergen is located in Milde.
