Visit the web interface (for subscribers, moderators, or admins), it's in the footer. If you have shell access to the server, you can look in mailman/Mailman/Version.py. If you have a package manager and shell access you can get it from the package manager.
If none of that is helpful, let us know a little bit more about what your situation is, what accesses you have, and what you've already tried. Maybe why you want to know, it's not necessary but sometimes that helps figure out some of the other things.

Thank you, it's version 2.1.14 on the installation I use the most. And my real question is --

The problem is, I want to use listadmin for all my lists if possible: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=listadmin
and it works for lists at an installation which runs 2.1.9. But listadmin doesn't seem to work with 2.1.14. Maybe listadmin isn't being kept up to date? Or does it work with the newest version of Mailman?
Or maybe I have some syntactic error in the .listadmin.ini file? The installation is running at a subdomain, mailman.efn.no, so that one of the lists have this address: datahistorie@mailman.efn.no
and I have this entry for the list in .listadmin.ini :
username thomas@efn.no spamlevel 5 default discard password ...... adminurl http://{domain}/mailman/admin/{list} datahistorie@mailman.efn.no
Is the adminurl syntax correct?

According to the results of the above search, the same listadmin version (2.40.4) works with squeeze (MM 2.1.13), wheezy (MM 2.1.15), and jessie and sid (MM 2.1.18), so it should work.

I don't know. However, http://mailman.efn.no/mailman/admin gets to the right place, so the form at least seems OK. As far as the actual syntax is concerned, listadmin is a Debian package. It is not part of GNU Mailman. Therefore, you might do better pursuing this via a Debian support resource.
