Rob Milligan (born 17 April 1990 in Northampton, Northamptonshire, England) was a rugby union player for Northampton Saints in the Guinness Premiership. He played as a number 8. Like many Northampton Saints players, he began his career at Northampton Old Scouts RFC, like his former team-mate Courtney Lawes.

He attended Rugby School as a day pupil in Town House, was head of school and captained their first XV.

Milligan made his only Saints appearance in an EDF Energy Cup match against Bristol Rugby.[1]

Milligan retired from rugby after the 2008-09 season due to medical advice.[2] He has decided to pursue a career in rowing.[3]
