The Mull Lava Group is a Palaeogene lithostratigraphic group (a sequence of rock strata) in the west Highlands of Scotland. The name is derived from the Isle of Mull where they are most extensively seen, forming the bedrock across much of the island. They extend into the mainland peninsulas of Ardnamurchan and Morvern and also out to sea.
