Tyrone Deon Mings (born 13 March 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays for AFC Bournemouth as a left back or a centre-back. He made his debut, playing for Ipswich Town, on 4 May 2013.

Born in Bath, Somerset, to former non-league striker Adie Mings, Mings joined Southampton in 2001 as an eight-year-old, but was released in 2009 when the youth budget was axed. After leaving Southampton, he attended Millfield school for two years on a football scholarship. After leaving school, Mings signed for non league side Yate Town. In the summer of 2012, he considered quitting football before eventually signing for his home town team Chippenham Town.

Mings signed for Ipswich Town in 2013 after a short trial for a fee of £10,000 and an agreement for Ipswich to play a preseason game against Chippenham. Mings made his debut for Ipswich on the last day of the 2012–13 season against Burnley. He went on into the 2013–14 season starting two more games due to the suspension of Aaron Cresswell. On 4 January 2014, Mings started an FA Cup tie against Preston North End at right back instead of his usual left back role.

Following Aaron Cresswell's transfer to West Ham United, Mings was handed the number 3 shirt. Because of this, Mings offered to purchase new shirts for two fans who had bought shirts with his old number 15 printed on the back.

On transfer deadline day summer 2014, Mings was subject to a £3 million pound bid from Crystal Palace which was rejected by Ipswich. On 20 September 2014, Mings signed a new three-year contract with Ipswich. On 10 October 2014, Mings won the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month Award for September.
