{{otherpeople|James Millar}}
'''James Millar''' (1762–1827) was a [[Scotland|Scottish]] [[physician]] and natural scientist who edited the fourth and fifth editions of the [[Encyclopædia Britannica]].  Although a good writer on scientific topics, he was deemed a poor chief editor of the ''Britannica'', being "slow and dilatory and not well qualified".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | title = Encyclopedias | encyclopedia = [[Encyclopædia Britannica]] | date = 14th edition, 1954}}</ref>
