Mills (Surrey cricketer) refers to a noted English cricketer of the mid-18th century who played for the famous Chertsey Cricket Club and for Surrey. He was principally a bowler.

Mills' career probably began in the aftermath of the Seven Years' War and he was certainly active until the 1781 season. He was recorded in 10 first-class matches after cricket's statistical record began in 1772 but by then it is believed he had already been playing for several seasons.

Mills played for All-England teams as well as for Surrey.
