The Wiener number of a graph G is defined as , d the distance function on G. The Wiener number has important applications in chemistry. We determine a formula for the Wiener number of an important graph family, namely, the Mycielskians μ(G) of graphs G. Using this, we show that for k ≥ 1, , where Sₙ, Tₙ and Pₙ denote a star, a general tree and a path on n vertices respectively. We also obtain Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality for the Wiener number of .
