Lieutenant Colonel Henry Milling (died 30 December 1822) was a British Army officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars.

Milling was commissioned a lieutenant in the 81st Regiment of Foot in 1801.[1] He served with them in the Peninsular War and was severely wounded at the Battle of Corunna (16 January 1809).[2][3]
