William Henry Jordan Millar (9 January 1924 — 21 March 2003) was an Irish international rugby union player.

Millar was a graduate of Queen's University Belfast.[1]

An Ulster wing three-quarter, Millar was capped five times for Ireland, beginning with three matches in their championship-winning 1951 Five Nations campaign. Lacking an accurate place kicker, Millar was one of four to be utilised in the drawn final fixture against Wales, missing a last-minute miss shot which would have secured a triple crown. He made a further two appearances during the 1952 Five Nations.[2] [3]
