Dennis Joseph Mills (born July 19, 1946) is a Canadian businessman and former politician. He was a Liberal Member of Parliament for the riding of Toronto—Danforth in the east-end of downtown Toronto. From February 2012 until November 2016, Mills was a member of the board of directors of Pacific Rubiales Energy Corp and from April 2013 until November 2016 he was a director on the board of CGX Energy Inc. Mills is also founder of Racing Future Inc. where he is currently president and CEO.

Mills has long conducted business in Toronto. His grandfather William J. Mills founded the special events support company in 1911 Chair-man Mills, and was also an executive with auto-parts maker Magna International. In the 1988, 1993, 1997 and 2000 general elections, he won re-election to the House of Commons in the Danforth area of Toronto.

Mills served on the personal staff of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau from 1980 until 1984, when Trudeau was succeeded as Liberal leader and prime minister by John Turner. Mills ran as the Liberal candidate in Broadview-Greenwood in the 1988 election in which the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney was re-elected, defeating New Democratic Party incumbent Lynn McDonald over the issue of support for the Meech Lake Accord, which Mills opposed.
