Micale (in greco Mykálē; in latino Mycale; l'odierno Dilek Dağı o Samsun Daği) è una montagna situata sulla costa occidentale dell'Anatolia centrale, in Turchia, a nord della foce del Meandro e di fronte all'isola di Samo. Forma una cresta terminante nel promontorio omonimo (o capo Trogylion). Il monte è celebre per una battaglia svoltasi nei suoi pressi fra Greci e Persiani (battaglia di Micale).
