William "Willie" Mills (28 January 1915 – 1991) was a professional footballer, who played for Aberdeen, Huddersfield Town, Dumbarton and Clyde. He was born in Alexandria, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

Mills was signed by Aberdeen from junior club Bridgeton Waverley in 1932.[2] He entered their first team almost immediately, aged 17.[2] Mills was primarily a creative player, but also scored frequently and was the club's top goalscorer in the 1933–34 season.[2] Mills represented Scotland three times between October 1935 and December 1936.[2][3]

He was transferred to Huddersfield Town in March 1938 for £6,500.[2] Mills did not stay long in English football, however, as the Second World War curtailed league play.[2] After the war concluded he played in the Highland Football League for Lossiemouth and Huntly.[2]
