There are 5,280 feet in a US/UK mile.

This is also known as an American mile, British mile, Imperial mile, English mile, or European mile. Its length has been agreed and fixed at precisely 1,609.344 meters by legal statute. Consequently it is also known as the 'statute mile.'

But there are also other types of 'mile.'

List of 'feet in a mile' in some of the more well-known systems of linear measurement:

  • 5,280 feet in a statute mile
  • 6,080 feet in the UK nautical mile
  • 6,076.1155 feet in the International nautical mile (1852 meters)
  • 5,279.989 'US Survey feet' in a mile
  • 5,920 feet in an old Scots mile
  • 5,000 Roman feet in the old Roman mile
  • 1500 m 'Metric mile' (used in sports) = 4,921.26 feet
  • 1600 m 'Metric mile' (used in some school sports) = 5,249.34 feet
