Harold Maurice Milliken (27 February 1914 — 10 January 1993) was a New Zealand rugby union and rugby league international active in the 1930s and 1940s.[1]
Milliken was born in Christchurch and educated at St Andrew's College.[2]
A forward, Milliken turned out for Christchurch club Sunnyside and was a regular in the Canterbury provincial side from 1933 to 1938.[3] He was capped three times by the All Blacks as a lock on the 1938 tour of Australia.[2]
Milliken switched codes in 1939 and began playing for Papakura in the Auckland Rugby League competition.[4] He was called up to the national rugby league team for the 1939 tour of Great Britain and made two tour appearances before the trip was abandoned due to the war.[2]
