Thomas Mills (1794 – 11 November 1862)[1][2] was a British Liberal and Whig politician.
Born in Middlesex, Mills was the eldest son of Samuel Mills and Mary née Wilson. He was admitted to Queens' College, Cambridge in Michaelmas in 1815, graduating with a BA in 1819 and an MA in 1822. He was admitted at the Inner Temple in 1816, and called to the Bar in 1832. After this, he was a Justice of the Peace for Middlesex and Bedfordshire and a Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire.[2]
