Musocco (Lombard: Musòcch [myˈzɔk]) is a district of Milan, located in the north-western outskirts of the city, belonging to Zone 8.

Until 1923 Musocco was an independent comune, to whom also belonged the localities of Boldinasco, Garegnano, Quarto Oggiaro, Roserio and Vialba.

The name comes from the word musa, which means marsh, indicating that the area was crossed by numerous streams and springs which formed overflowing of swamping. The main waterway is the river Pudiga.

In Milan the name "Musocco" is also often referred to the Main Cemetery of Milan.
