David Alexander Hyndman Milling (8 October 1872 – 26 April 1929) was an Irish first-class cricketer.

Milling was born at Comber in County Down in October 1872.[1] He initially played his club cricket for North Down, before moving to Dublin, where he represented Leinster.[1] He made his debut for Ireland in a minor match against Cambridge University at Cork in 1904.[2] His next appearance for Ireland came eight years later, when he made his debut in first-class cricket for against Scotland at Dublin in 1912.[3] He made a second appearance in first-class cricket for Ireland in 1914, against the same opposition at Dublin.[3] Playing as a wicket-keeper in these matches, Milling scored a total of 17 runs, while behind the stumps he took one catch and made two stumpings.[4] He captained Ireland in the 1914 match - the first Ulsterman to do so.[5][1] Outside of cricket, he worked as a tea buyer.[1] He died at Rathmines in Dublin in April 1929.[1]
