Mullynagolman is a townland in the Parish of Tomregan, Barony of Loughtee Lower, County Cavan, Ireland.

The townland name is an anglicisation of the Gaelic placename “Mullach na gColman” which means ‘Summit of the Pigeons’. The oldest surviving mention of the name is in the will of John Armstrong dated 1757 where it is spelled ‘Mullinagollinan’. The will of Alexander Faris dated 1766 spells it as 'Mullinagolinan'

It is bounded on the north by Cloncollow and Carrigan townlands, on the east by Aghavoher and Clifton townlands, on the south by Berrymount and Aghaweenagh townlands and on the west by Fartrin townland. Its chief geographical features are Togher Lough, the Rag River and a drumlin hill reaching to 300 feet (91 m) above sea-level.

Mullynagolman is traversed by Slievebrickan Lane and Ardlougher Lane.

The townland covers 109 statute acres, including 11 acres (45,000 m2) of water.

It formed part of the termon lands belonging to Tomregan Roman Catholic Church which were granted to the Protestant Bishop of Kilmore in 1610 as part of the Plantation of Ulster. By a lease dated 6 April 1612 the said bishop granted the lands to Sir Oliver Lambart of Kilbeggan, County Westmeath and Sir Garret Moore, 1st Viscount Moore of Mellifont, County Louth. On 17 July 1639 the bishop re-granted the lands to Charles Lambart, 1st Earl of Cavan.
