Conway MacMillan (August 26, 1867 – June 5, 1929) was an American botanist from Minnesota.
MacMillan was born in Hillsdale, Michigan. He took his first and master's degrees in Nebraska. After this he spent a year at Johns Hopkins University followed by a year at Harvard.
Macmillan worked at the University of Minnesota until he resigned over the problems with Josephine Tilden's "Minnesota Seaside Station" in Canada. MacMillan headed the research station where 25 to 30 students would study each summer. Under his leadership the land gathered a number of buildings and a three-mile road was built from Port Renfrew to allow access.
Macmillan died in 1929.
