Robert "Bob" Milarvie (1864 – November 1912) was a Scottish footballer.
Milarvie played for Pollokshield and Hibernian before moving south to the English Midlands to join Stoke. He moved on to nearby Burslem Port Vale in the summer of 1889. He made his Vale debut in a 1–1 home friendly match against Halliwell on 2 September 1889, but his club were censured by the Football Association for fielding him as he had also signed for Derby County, with County then winning the fight for his services.[1]
He left Derby in 1890 to sign with Newton Heath, he played four games for the club in the Football Alliance before moving on to neighbours Ardwick the following year.[2]
