                                 INTRODUCTION 

   
  This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of 
proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of MuniYield Fund, Inc., a 
Maryland corporation (the "Fund"), to be voted at the 1995 Annual Meeting of 
Stockholders of the Fund (the "Meeting"), to be held at the offices of 
Merrill Lynch Asset Management, L.P. ("MLAM"), 800 Scudders Mill Road, 
Plainsboro, New Jersey, on Friday, September 8, 1995 at 10:00 A.M. The 
approximate mailing date of this Proxy Statement is July 31, 1995. 
    

   
  All properly executed proxies received prior to the Meeting will be voted at 
the Meeting in accordance with the instructions marked thereon or otherwise 
as provided therein. Unless instructions to the contrary are marked, proxies 
will be voted for the election of the Board of Directors to serve for the 
ensuing year, and for the ratification of the selection of independent 
auditors to serve for the Fund's current fiscal year. Any proxy may be 
revoked at any time prior to the exercise thereof by giving written notice to 
the Secretary of the Fund at the Fund's address indicated above or by voting 
in person at the Meeting. 
    

   
  The Board of Directors has fixed the close of business on July 14, 1995 as 
the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of 
and to vote at the Meeting and at any adjournment thereof. Stockholders on 
the record date will be entitled to one vote for each share held, with no 
shares having cumulative voting rights. As of July 14, 1995, the Fund had 
outstanding 37,061,414 shares of common stock, par value $.10 per share 
("Common Stock"), and 10,000 shares of auction market preferred stock, par 
value $.10 per share and liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus an 
amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends thereon ("AMPS"). To the 
knowledge of the Fund, as of July 14, 1995, no person is the beneficial owner 
of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or five 
percent of the outstanding AMPS. 
    

   
  The Board of Directors of the Fund knows of no business other than that 
mentioned in Items 1 and 2 of the Notice of Meeting which will be presented 
for consideration at the Meeting. If any other matter is properly presented, 
it is the intention of the persons named in the enclosed proxy to vote in 
accordance with their best judgment. 
    

   
                                      1 
 
    
   
                        ITEM 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS 
    

   
  At the Meeting, the Board of Directors will be elected to serve until the 
next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are elected 
and qualified. It is intended that all properly executed proxies will be 
voted (unless such authority has been withheld in the proxy) as follows: 
    

  (1) All such proxies of the holders of AMPS, voting separately by class, in 
favor of the two (2) persons designated as Directors to be elected by holders 
of AMPS; and 

  (2) All such proxies of the holders of AMPS and Common Stock, voting 
together as a single class, in favor of the four (4) persons designated as 
Directors to be elected by holders of AMPS and Common Stock. 

  The Board of Directors of the Fund knows of no reason why any of these 
nominees will be unable to serve, but in the event of any such 
unavailability, the proxies received will be voted for such substitute 
nominee or nominees as the Board of Directors may recommend. 

  Certain information concerning the nominees, including their designated 
classes, is set forth as follows:

  (1) Each of the nominees is a director, trustee or member of an advisory 
      board of certain other investment companies for which FAM or MLAM acts 
      as investment adviser. See "Compensation of Directors and Officers" 
      below. 

   
  (2) Member of Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. 
    

   
  *  Interested person, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as 
     amended (the "Investment Company Act"), of the Fund. 
    

   
  Committees and Board of Directors' Meetings. The Board of Directors has a 
standing Audit Committee, which consists of the Directors who are not 
"interested persons" of the Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company 
Act. The principal purpose of the Audit Committee is to review the scope of 
the annual audit conducted by the Fund's independent auditors and the 
evaluation by such auditors of the accounting procedures followed by the 
Fund. The non-interested Directors have retained independent legal counsel to 
assist them in connection with these duties. The Board of Directors does not 
have a nominating committee. 
    

   
  During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994, the Board of Directors held 
five meetings and the Audit Committee held four meetings. With the exception 
of Mr. Bodurtha (who became a Director of the Fund in June, 1995), all of the 
Directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate of the total number of 
meetings of the Board of Directors and the total number of meetings held by 
all committees on which he served during such period. 
    

  Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the 
"Exchange Act"), requires the Fund's officers, directors and persons who own 
more than ten percent of a registered class of the Fund's equity securities, 
to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and the New York Stock 
Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are 
required by SEC regulations to furnish the Fund with copies of all Forms 3, 4 
and 5 they file. 

  Based solely on the Fund's review of the copies of such forms, and 
amendments thereto, furnished to it during or with respect to its most recent 
fiscal year, and written representations from certain reporting persons that 
they were not required to file Form 5 with respect to the most recent fiscal 
year, the Fund believes that all of its officers, 

                                      4 
 
   
directors, greater than ten percent beneficial owners and other persons 
subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act because of the requirements of 
Section 30 of the Investment Company Act (i.e., any advisory board member, 
investment adviser or affiliated person of the Fund's investment adviser) 
have complied with all filing requirements applicable to them with respect to 
transactions during the Fund's most recent fiscal year except that Elizabeth 
Griffin inadvertently failed to make a timely Form 3 filing to report her 
election as a Senior Vice President of FAM. 
    

  Interested Persons. The Fund considers Mr. Zeikel to be an "interested 
person" of the Fund within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment 
Company Act as a result of the positions he holds with FAM and its 
affiliates. Mr. Zeikel is the President of the Fund and the President of FAM 
and MLAM. 

   
  Compensation of Directors and Officers. FAM, the Fund's investment adviser, 
pays all compensation of all officers of the Fund and all Directors of the 
Fund who are affiliated with ML&Co. or its subsidiaries. The Fund pays each 
Director not affiliated with FAM a fee of $5,000 per year plus $500 per 
regular meeting attended, together with such Director's actual out-of-pocket 
expenses relating to attendance at meetings. The Fund also pays each member 
of its Audit Committee a fee of $1,000 per year plus $250 per meeting 
attended, together with such Director's out-of-pocket expenses relating to 
attendance at meetings. These fees and expenses aggregated $45,480 for the 
fiscal year ended October 31, 1994. 
    

   
  The following table sets forth for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1994 
compensation paid by the Fund to the non-affiliated Directors, and for the 
calendar year ended December 31, 1994, the aggregate compensation paid by all 
investment companies advised by FAM and its affiliate, MLAM ("FAM/MLAM 
Advised Funds") to the non- affiliated Directors.

  Stock Ownership. At July 14, 1995, the Directors and officers of the Fund as 
a group (12 persons) owned an aggregate of less than 1/4 of 1% of the Common 
Stock of the Fund outstanding at such date and owned none of the AMPS 
outstanding at such date. At such date, Mr. Zeikel, an officer and Director 
of the Fund, and the other officers of the Fund owned an aggregate of less 
than 1/4 of 1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of ML&Co. 

   
                  ITEM 2. SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 
    

   
  The Board of Directors of the Fund, including a majority of the Directors 
who are not interested persons of the Fund, has selected the firm of Deloitte 
& Touche llp ("D&T"), independent auditors, to examine the financial 
statements of the Fund for the current fiscal year. The Fund knows of no 
direct or indirect financial interest of D&T in the Fund. Such appointment is 
subject to ratification or rejection by the stockholders of the Fund. Unless 
a contrary specification is made, the accompanying proxy will be voted in 
favor of ratifying the selection of such auditors. 
    

  D&T also acts as independent auditors for ML&Co. and all of its subsidiaries 
and for most other investment companies for which FAM or MLAM acts as 
investment adviser. The fees received by D&T from these other entities are 
substantially greater, in the aggregate, than the total fees received by it 
from the Fund. The Board of Directors of the Fund considered the fact that 
D&T has been retained as the independent auditors for ML&Co. and the other 
entities described above, in its evaluation of the independence of D&T with 
respect to the Fund. 

   
  Representatives of D&T are expected to be present at the Meeting and will 
have the opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to 
questions from stockholders. 
    


                                      6 
 
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

   
  The expenses of preparation, printing and mailing of the enclosed form of 
proxy and accompanying Notice and Proxy Statement will be borne by the Fund. 
The Fund will reimburse banks, brokers and others for their reasonable 
expenses in forwarding proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners 
of the shares of the Fund. The Fund may also hire proxy solicitors at the 
expense of the Fund. 
    

  In order to obtain the necessary quorum at the Meeting (i.e., a majority of 
the shares of each class of the Fund's securities entitled to vote at the 
Meeting, present in person or by proxy), supplementary solicitation may be 
made by mail, telephone, telegraph or personal interview by officers of the 
Fund. It is anticipated that the cost of such supplementary solicitation, if 
any, will be nominal. 

   
  All shares represented by properly executed proxies, unless such proxies 
have previously been revoked, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with 
the directions on the proxies; if no direction is indicated, the shares will 
be voted "FOR" the Director nominees and "FOR" the ratification of D&T as 
independent auditors. 
    

   
  The Directors are to be elected by class vote, two Directors being elected 
by the holders of AMPS and the remaining Directors by the holders of AMPS and 
Common Stock, voting together as a single class. At a meeting at which a 
quorum is duly constituted, (i) the affirmative vote of a majority of the 
votes cast by the holders of AMPS, voting separately as a class in person or 
by proxy, is required for the election of the two (2) persons designated as 
Directors to be elected by the holders of AMPS; (ii) the affirmative vote of 
a majority of the votes cast by the holders of AMPS and Common Stock, voting 
together as a single class in person or by proxy, is required for the 
election of the remaining Directors (Item 1); and (iii) the proposal to 
ratify the selection of the Fund's independent auditors (Item 2) may be 
approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes 
cast by the holders of Common Stock and AMPS, voting together as a single 
class in person or by proxy. 
    

   
  Broker-dealer firms, including Merrill Lynch, holding Fund shares in "street 
name" for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the 
instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on 
each Item before the Meeting. The Fund understands that, under the rules of 
the New York Stock Exchange, such broker- dealer firms may, without 
instructions from their customers and clients, grant authority to the proxies 
designated to vote on the election of Directors (Item 1) and ratification of 
the selection of independent auditors (Item 2) if no instructions have been 
received prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm's request for 
voting instructions. The Fund will include shares held of record by 
broker-dealers as to which such authority has been granted in its tabulation 
of the total number of votes present for purposes of determining whether the 
necessary quorum of stockholders exists. Proxies which are returned but which 
are marked "abstain" or on which a broker-dealer has declined to vote on any 
proposal ("broker non-vote") will be counted as present for the purpose of a 
quorum. Merrill Lynch has advised that it intends to exercise discretion over 
shares held in its name for which no instructions are received by voting such 
shares in the same proportion as it has voted shares for which it has 
received instructions. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted 
as votes cast and therefore will have no effect on the vote of either Item 1 
or Item 2.
