William "Billy" Mervin Mills (Pine Ridge, 30 de junho de 1938) foi um corredor de longa distância, campeão olímpico dos 10.000 m nos Jogos Olímpicos de 1964, em Tóquio, e o segundo índio norte-americano, depois do decatleta Jim Thorpe, a conquistar uma medalha de ouro olímpica. Sua vitória é considerada uma das mais surpreendentes da história dos Jogos Olímpicos. Membro da tribo Sioux Oglaga e um ex-fuzileiro naval, Billy nasceu e cresceu na reserva indígena de Pine Ridge, na Dacota do Sul, ficando órfão aos doze anos de idade. Praticante do boxe e do atletismo na adolescência, passou a dedicar-se apenas as corridas quando fazia o curso secundário no Instituto Haskell, hoje Universidade das Nações Indígenas de Haskell, no estado de Kansas.
