Kyle David Mills (born 15 March 1979 in Auckland) is a New Zealand cricketer. Kyle is right-arm pace bowler who can also score quick runs in the later stages of one day innings; as of June 2008 he is 4th on the LG ICC ODI Bowling Rankings.

Having been injured in Australia in February 2007, Mills was forced to withdraw from the 2007 World Cup. After an operation on a Patella Tendon and a winter of hard work, Mills worked his way back to fitness to take part in New Zealand's tour of South Africa in November / December 2007.

Called in to the test side Mills was forced to withdraw from the second and final test due to a stomach bug. Coming fresh in to the three match one day series, Mills was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers in all three matches taking career best figures of 5 for 25 in the series opener. Despite New Zealand losing the series 2-1, Mills was named Man of the Series, a fitting accolade for three fabulous displays of opening bowling.

If Mills could avoid injury and string a couple of full seasons together, he could indeed become a true force in World cricket.
