George Henry Mills (1 August 1916 - 17 December 1979) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played 59 first-class matches, 55 of them for Otago between the 1935–36 and 1957–58 seasons.[1]
Born at Dunedin in 1916 and educated at Otago Boys' High School,[2] Mills was Otago's first-choice wicket-keeper for much of the time he played.[3] He was an effective batsman who scored 2,056 first-class runs in his career and took 88 catches and made 34 stumpings. He played for a New Zealand XI in a trial match in January 1949, scoring a half-century, but did not receive an international cap.[4] He worked professionally as a fitter and was an Otago selector.[2]
Mills died at Dunedin in 1979, aged 63.[1] An obituary was published in the following year's New Zealand Cricket Almanack.[2]
