Luis Milla Aspas (born 12 March 1966) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, and the current coach of Indonesia.

He represented three teams – including both FC Barcelona and Real Madrid – during a 16-year-professional career, where he won three La Liga titles (one with the former and two with the latter) and amassed totals of 337 games and 11 goals.

Milla later worked as a manager, being in charge of Spain's youth teams for several years.

Milla was born in Teruel, Aragon. After finishing his football formation with FC Barcelona he made his La Liga debuts in 1984–85, scoring in his only appearance of the season, against Real Zaragoza, as Barça pitched in a team majorly composed of youth players due to a general professional's strike.

Definitely promoted to the first team in 1988, Milla would be involved two years later in a sour contract renewal dispute with the board of directors and manager Johan Cruyff, which eventually finished with his free transfer to Real Madrid. He was seriously injured in his debut campaign, but bounced to back to be an important first-team element in the conquest of two leagues and one Copa del Rey, being fairly used even after the 1994 purchase of Fernando Redondo.

Milla finished his career in June 2001 after four years at Valencia CF, with more than 400 official appearances as a professional. He was an unused substitute in 2000 UEFA Champions League Final defeat against his former club, Real Madrid.
