Kenny Milne (born 26 August 1979, in Alloa) is a Scottish professional footballer, currently playing as a defender for Falkirk in the SPL.

Despite his 6'2 stature, Milne actually started his career as a left winger with Heart of Midlothian, whom he signed for from Rangers Boys Club in 1995. He was loaned to Cowdenbeath for the 1998-99 season before making his Hearts debut the following year.

In 2000, Craig Levein, previously his manager at Cowdenbeath, was appointed Hearts head coach and their familiarity, coupled with Hearts' lack of transfer funds, ensured Milne was afforded more first team opportunities. However, Milne was unable to establish himself in the Tynecastle side's starting XI and he left for Partick Thistle in 2002.

Milne's first season at Firhill was successful, the Jags exceeding expectations of relegation from the SPL by finishing 10th. Milne himself was converted to a leftback/left-sided centreback by manager John Lambie, and made numerous first team appearances in his new position. Partick struggled following Lambie's retirement though, and following successive relegations in 2003-04 and 2004-05, Milne moved to newly-promoted Falkirk.

Milne enjoyed relative success at the Falkirk Stadium in 2005-06, playing regularly as the Bairns reaffirmed their top-flight status, as well as notching his first SPL goal.
