It is approximately 228 million km, or 142 million miles.
This number is average. Mars travels in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. Sometimes it gets closer and other times it's more distant. At its closest point, Mars is only 207 million km from the Sun. Astronomers call this point in a planet's orbit perihelion. And then at its most distant point, called aphelion.
