George Alderson Milman (11 October 1830 — 29 December 1898) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of Sir William George Milman, he was born at Westminster in October 1830.[1] Milman graduated from the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich in December 1848 as a second lieutenant into the Royal Artillery,[2] before being promoted to first lieutenant in January 1849.[3] Milman served with the Royal Artillery in the Crimean War and was present at the Siege of Sevastopol.[4] He was promoted to second captain in May 1856.[5] Following the war, Milman was decorated by the Ottoman Empire with the Order of the Medjidie, 5th Class in March 1858.[6]

He first played first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club against the Gentlemen of Kent at the Canterbury Cricket Week of 1863,[7] with success, with Milman taking figures of 5 for 45 and 7 for 65 in the match with his right-arm medium pace bowling.[8] He later made a further two first-class appearances, this time for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Cambridge University in 1868 and 1869.[7] In the Royal Artillery, Milman was made a captain in charge of a company of gentlemen cadets in July 1867.[9] Having held the brevet ranks of captain and major, he was made a brevet lieutenant colonel in January 1868,[10] before gaining the rank in full in December 1873.[11] He was placed on the retired list in July 1881.[12] Milman died at Heavitree in December 1898. His nephew was Sir Lionel Milman, while his great–nephew was Sir Dermot Milman, 8th Baronet.[13]
