Mogliano Veneto (Mogian /mo'ʤan/ in Venetian language) is a town and comune in the province of Treviso, Veneto, northern Italy, located halfway between Mestre (Venice) and Treviso.

Mogliano is well known for the Medieval festival, which takes place September of every year, as well as for the Christmas market which takes place from 1–10 December of every year with market stalls being set up in Piazza Pio X by cottage industries from as far away as Perugia.

Mogliano is cut in two by a busy highway, known as Terraglio, a historical road linking Treviso and Mestre/Venice. Mogliano Veneto railway station is on the busy Venice–Udine railway and, like Mestre, serves as a dormitory town for people working in the surrounding industrial areas. Train services operate to Venice, Treviso, Udine and Trieste.

F.C. Union Pro Mogliano-Preganziol A.S.D. is the Italian football of the city and of Preganziol and was founded in 2012 after the merger of A.S.D. Pro Mogliano Calcio (founded in 1928) and ASD Union Preganziol (founded in 1962). Currently it plays in Italy's Serie D after the promotion from Eccellenza Veneto Girone B in the 2013-14 season.

Its home ground is Stadio Comunale with 2,300 seats of the city. The team's colors are white and blue.

The presidents are Maurizio Michielan and Marco Gaiba. The manager is Francesco Feltrin.
