William Torbet Gray Milne (13 July 1951 – 31 January 2023) was a Scottish professional golfer. As an amateur, he played in the 1973 Walker Cup. He turned professional soon afterwards and had immediate success, winning the Lusaka Open and the Northern Open before the middle of 1974, as well as a large prize for making a hole-in-one in the Cock o' the North tournament. He played on the European Tour from 1974 to 1980 but struggled for success, his best result being runner-up in the 1979 French Open. From 1981 he became a club professional, playing twice in the PGA Cup.
