Neutrino mixing is studied from a symmetry perspective, both bottom-up and top-down. In the bottom-up approach, we start from the tri-bimaximal mixing, or one of its three partial patterns, and construct a list of horizontal symmetry groups capable of reproducing the mixng without adjustment of parameters. This list, labeled by an integer $n\ge 3$, is explicitly calculated for $n=3$. In the top-down approach, we start from any finite group possessing a three-dimensional irreducible representation and an order-2 element, give a recipe to determine what mixing pattern it contains, and how to construct a dynamical model to reveal a particular mixing. Finally, we point out that if quark mixing is controlled by symmetry in this way, then there is an exciting possibility to determine most of the CKM mixing parameters by symmetry alone.
