Thomas Mills (c. 1735–1820) was an English printer who established a business in Vine Street Bristol during the seventeenth century.[1] He became a Quaker in 1778, but they later disowned him in 1789.[2]

Mills was one of a group of Bristol Behmenists who preserved the manuscripts of William Law and Dionysius Andreas Freher.[3]

His daughter, Selina Mills, married Zachary Macaulay.
