Mauritius Time (MUT) is a time zone used by the nation of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The zone is four hours ahead of UTC (UTC+04:00).

Mauritius does not use daylight saving time; however, it has been used in the past. Daylight saving time was first introduced in Mauritius in 1982; however, it was discontinued the following year. It was re-introduced in 2008; however, it was not used in 2009 or since. In 2008, the period started at 2 am UTC+5 (1 am UTC+4) on 26 October 2008 (the last Sunday in October), and ended at 2 am UTC+5 (1 am UTC+4) on 29 March 2009 (the last Sunday in March). Mauritius is in the Southern Hemisphere, so summer begins towards the end of the year.
