Milton McGrath (February 24, 1915 – March 24, 1994) was a Republican mayor of both Eau Gallie, Florida from 1957 to 1963 and later of the city of Melbourne, Florida from 1970 to 1973 after its consolidation with Eau Gallie in 1969.

He was born in Baltimore, Maryland[2] on February 24, 1915.[1]

In 1964, he was the Republican nominee for Brevard County Commissioner from the 5th District[4] for the office previously held by Joe Wickham.

In 1968, he was defeated by State Senator Beth Johnson, the only woman in the state senate at the time, in a primary challenge for the Republican nomination for the 29th District seat.[5][6][7]

He moved to Altamonte Springs from Melbourne in 1986.[1][2]
