Carl Edward King-Millward (17 July 1935 in Bedfordshire, United Kingdom[1] – August 2000[2]) was a British mathematician. He became head of applied mathematics at the Institute of Historical Research in London in 1965, thus becoming the youngest non-literary scholar to do so in the post-war era.[3]

King-Millward's parents were of Slavonic extraction, moving to Britain in 1933.[1]
