Māllīnātha was the 19th tīrthaṅkara "ford-maker" of the present avasarpiṇī age in Jainism.

Jain texts indicate Mallinath was born at Mithila into the Ikshvaku dynasty to King Kumbha and Queen Prajâvatî. Tīrthaṅkara Māllīnātha lived for over 56,000 years, out of which 54,800 years less six days, was with omniscience (Kevala Gnana).
