Kozármisleny (German: Mischlen), (Croatian: Mišljen) is a town in Baranya county, Hungary. It is south-east of the city of Pécs.
The history of Kozármisleny is rooted in the early Bronze age, as indicated by archeological findings. Roman remains have also been found in the area. The transcontinental military road connecting Sremska Mitrovica-Pécs-Szombathely-Sopron led not far from the place. The Avars living here between the 6th-9th centuries also left some relics behind. Several tombs have been found dating back to the time of the Hungarian conquest.
The village got its present form when two smaller settlements, Kiskozár and Misleny, were united in 1928. The name of Kozár was first mentioned in documents in 1332-1335, in the papal tithe registers, in the form Kosar. Misleny was first mentioned in a document dating back to 1266, as Myslen. The place played an important role in the development of Baranya county. Originally there were two areas, each governed by a castle built in their centres. One of them was Baranyavár, the other Koaszt with its centre somewhere between Kozármisleny and Nagykozár. Baranya county developed out of these two areas.
Kiskozár was inhabited continuously, even under the Turkish rule. In the l7th and l8th centuries South Slav families settled next to the Hungarian population. Some of them got assimilated, others moved away after some time. Around 1760, German settlers came and by the middle of the last century they were in majority. Misleny was inhabited under the Turkish rule, and in the 17th-18th centuries its population was partly Hungarian and partly Slav. After the war of independence (1703–1711), only the Hungarians remained.
