Robert (Bob) Mills (born July 28, 1941 in Young, Saskatchewan) is a Canadian politician.

Mills was born in Young, Saskatchewan but moved at the age of twelve to Saskatoon. He attended the University of Saskatchewan and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Science and with an Education diploma. He then moved to Red Deer, Alberta and taught biology at Lindsay Thurber Comprehensive High School in Red Deer until 1979.

In 1979 Mills ran for the Social Credit Party of Alberta in the provincial election, but was defeated. He then established a travel company and operated it until his election to the Parliament of Canada in the 1993 federal election. Mills ran as a member of the Reform Party of Canada.

In subsequent elections Mills was re-elected as a member of the Canadian Alliance and the Conservative Party of Canada, in that order. The riding of Red Deer is in the heart of Alberta, where Mr. Mills and his fellow Conservative MPs have won some of the biggest victories in Canadian politics since 1993. Mills served as the Conservative Party's environment critic in the shadow cabinet, until the Conservative Party of Canada won the 2006 election. Mr. Mills continues to represent the riding of Red Deer as a backbench MP as well as chair of the Environment Committee.

Mills announced on February 7, 2008 that he will retire at the next election. [ [http://www.canada.com/calgaryherald/news/city/story.html?id=a125836d-91d5-4ec2-8df0-2f822f314771 Longtime Red Deer MP won't pursue sixth term] , "Calgary Herald", February 8, 2008]
