Mumias Sugar is a sugar company in Kenya. It has headquarters in Nairobi and operations in Mumias. Its name is abbreviated to MSC. Mumias is listed on the Nairobi Stock Exchange.

Mumias is engaged in the manufacture and sale of sugar. The company grows some sugar cane; its own estates provide up to 7% of its annual output. Its primary source of sugarcane is over 50,000 registered "out growers" with over 400 km² under cultivation. It has also piloted the production of a hybrid high-yielding palm oil variety in areas previously thought too cool for commercial cultivation, in collaboration with the UN FAO.
