Peter Milne (17 May 1834 – 24 November 1924) was a Scottish missionary to the New Hebrides (now Vanuatu).
Milne was born in Aberdeen, and studied at the University of Aberdeen and the Free Church College.[1] He was ordained in 1868 as a missionary under the Presbyterian Synod of Otago and Southland, and arrived in Nguna in 1870. By 1896 the entire island was (at least nominally) Christian.[2] Milne served in the New Hebrides for more than fifty years.
Milne encouraged the production of arrowroot as a means of paying for the printing of religious books in the local language. Along with Daniel Macdonald and John W. Mackenzie, Milne translated the Old Testament into Efatese.[3] He and Macdonald were involved in a feud that lasted for more than fifteen years, which started with a disagreement over how to translate the word "God" in the local language.[4]
