John Vance Milne (25 March 1911 – 29 August 1959) was a Scottish footballer who played for Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal and Middlesbrough. Arsenal won the old First Division in 1937–38 and he made 16 league appearances, enough for a winner's medal. He later played for Dumbarton for six seasons and was their manager for a seventh, but this was during the entire span of World War II and none of his 164 appearances there were in official competitions. At the end of the war, he accepted an invitation to play in Mexico, alongside Tom McKillop and Jimmy Hickie.
Milne represented Scotland twice.
