Mitochondrial myopathy are a type of myopathy associated with mitochondrial disease.

Examples include:

Myoclonic epilepsy and ragged-red fibers (MERRF)
- progressive myoclonic epilepsy
- clumps of diseased mitochondria accumulate in the subsarcolemmal region of the muscle fiber and appear as "ragged-red fibers" when muscle is stained with modified Gomori trichrome stain
- short stature

Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS)
- external ophthalmoplegia
- cardiac conduction defects
- sensory-neural hearing loss

Progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO)
- progressive ophthalmoparesis is the cardinal feature
- symptomatic overlap with many other mitochondrial myopathies
