Mile Run is a tributary of the Raritan River in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the United States.
Its name is derived from the distance early surveyors estimated it was on the historic King's Highway, Route 27, from the Raritan River crossing. Other streams, such as the Six Mile Run and the Nine Mile Run are named similarly.
