Miseglia is a village in Tuscany, central Italy, administratively a frazione of the comune of Carrara, province of Massa-Carrara. At the time of the 2011 census its population amounted to 449.

Miseglia is about 2 km from Carrara and 10 km from Massa, and it is situated on a peak next to the Carrara marble quarries of Canale di Fantiscritti and Canalgrande.[1][2] Those quarries have been excavated since the Roman period.[2] The proper village dates back to the 12th century, when it was a property of the pieve of Sant'Andrea in Carrara.[1]
