Samuel Milne FRSA (c. 1828 – 21 March 1877) was a prominent 19th century English businessman in the cotton and woolen trade. Originally from Oldham in Lancashire, Milne became a major figure in the town's cotton-spinning industry through his highly successful partnership with Bagley & Wright from 1863 until his death in 1877. Prior to this, he oversaw huge growth in the Glodwick area, which has since become synonymous with one of Oldham's more significant contributions to the Industrial Revolution of the mid-Victorian period.
