William Alonzo Mills (2 February 1879 – 9 October 1953) was an English international rugby union player.
Mills, a forward, was of a lighter build than his contemporaries and excelled in open play on account of his speed. He was a product of the Devonport Ramblers and spent his career with the club's senior side Albion.[1] From 1906 to 1908, Mills attained 11 England caps and scored four tries. His appearances included a match against the 1906–07 Springboks.[2]
