Paddy Mills (17 March 1884 – 12 July 1957) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne and Carlton in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

Mills played with South Bendigo Football Club in 1910 and 1911,[2] then with Rochester Football Club from 1912 to 1915, with Mills coaching Rochester in 1913 and 1914 (premiers),[3][4] in the Wednesday afternoon Goulburn Valley Football League competition.

During 1912 and 1913, Mills was playing with Carlton on Saturday’s and with Rochester on Wednesday’s.[5]

Mills was then captain-coach of Rochester when they moved across to play in the Bendigo Football League in 1915,[6] just prior to World War One, with the out break of the war ultimately finishing off his football career.
