.mn is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Mongolia. It is administered by Datacom. The domain name is composed of the consonants in the first syllable of the country name.

Some second-level domains are reserved for special use, such as:

• .gov.mn - government institutions
• .edu.mn - educational institutions
• .org.mn - non-profit organisations

The U.S. state of Minnesota also makes limited use of the domain, such as mapping www.leg.state.mn.us, the site for the Minnesota State Legislature, to www.leg.mn with a CNAME record.

The registry doesn't generally require specific second-level domains. As of 2006, the registry doesn't yet support Internationalized domain names.

The .mn domain name is becoming more popular in Minnesota,^{[citation needed]} but it still is not widely recognized. The .MN domain in Minnesota is used primarily as a 'clever' domain name like vita.mn (a play on vitamin), or for location specific sites like apartments.mn.
