Space Shuttle Atlantis docked to Mir on July 4, 1995 during STS-71

Soyuz TM-20 is docked to the bottom of Mir, as seen from Space Shuttle Discovery in February 1995 during STS-63

This is a list of spacecraft and crews that visited Mir, a Russian space station. Unmanned visiting spacecraft are excluded (see List of unmanned spaceflights to Mir for details). Mir crew members are listed in bold. "Time Docked" refers to the spacecraft and does not always correspond to the crew.

Mir's core module was launched on 19 February 1986. The space station was largely assembled while in orbit and had many short-term visitors (about a week aboard Mir) as well as many long-term crew members (from 6 months up to Valeri Polyakov's 14 month stay at the space station beginning in January 1994, which still holds the record for the longest continuous spaceflight by a single person).

Many of the crew who visited Mir used different spacecraft to launch than they did to land; the first such examples were Aleksandr Viktorenko and Muhammed Faris who flew up in Soyuz TM-3 (launched 22 July 1987) and landed a week later in Soyuz TM-2 on 30 July 1987. The largest crew aboard Mir simultaneously (not including the NASA Space Shuttle missions) was 6, which first occurred with the launch of Soyuz TM-7 on 26 November 1988 and lasted for just over three weeks. Mir existed until 23 March 2001. At that day it was deliberately de-orbited and broke apart during atmospheric reentry.
