Ernest Victor Mills (10 April 1913 – 10 October 1972), commonly known as Ernie Mills, was an English amateur cyclist who, with his teammate Bill Paul, set the British 12-hour record on a tandem in 1934 and re-established it in 1936 with a 'world's best performance'. In 1937, in Italy, they set the world one-hour tandem record which stood for 63 years until September 2000.[2][3][4] The Addiscombe Cycle Club teammates set 20 world and British records at both short and long distances.[2][5]

Mills represented Great Britain at the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin and won a bronze medal in the Team Pursuit.[6] At the 1938 British Empire Games in Sydney Australia, he won a bronze medal in the 1,000 metre Time-Trial[6][7]

In 1937 Cycling Weekly jointly awarded him and Bill Paul their own page in the Golden Book of Cycling.[5]
