Ralph Peter Mills (born 14 May 1931) was an English professional golfer. He is best remembered for being in the British Ryder Cup teams in 1957 and 1959.

Golf career

Mills was assistant at Fulwell Golf Club from 1948. He was in the RAF doing his National Service in 1950 and 1951 which limited his playing opportunities. He did, however, reach the semi-final of the Gor-Ray Assistants' match-play tournament in 1950 and in 1951 won the Coombe Hill Assistants' Tournament by 11 strokes. In late 1951, he took moved to Wentworth as an assistant and was second to Bernard Hunt in the Coombe Hill Assistants' Tournament. He lost in the final of the same tournament in 1954 at the 19th hole, but in 1955 he continued his success at Coombe Hill winning the tournament for a second time. Mills had moved to West Hill golf Club in late 1954. Later the same year he won the Professional Short Course Championship in Torquay.
