Mulka is an electoral division of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in Australia. It was created in a 2019 redistribution for the 2020 general election, replacing the electoral division of Nhulunbuy. ^[1] At that election, independent Nhulunbuy incumbent Yingiya Mark Guyula won the seat in a tightly contested rematch of the 2016 general election, with the Territory Labor Party being his only opposition.

He retained his seat at the 2024 general election with a large swing in his favour, against one opposing candidate, from the Country Liberal Party.

Mulka is located in eastern Arnhem Land and is divided into two parts. The major population centre is the town of Nhulunbuy.
