Stuart Mark Milburn (born 29 September 1972) is a former English first-class cricketer.

Milburn was born at Harrogate in September 1972. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Yorkshire against Worcestershire at Worcester in the 1992 County Championship. He featured infrequently in the Yorkshire side until 1995, making six first-class appearances.[1] Playing as a right-arm fast-medium bowler, he took 14 wickets at an average of 30.78, with best figures of 4 for 68.[2] In his final season at Yorkshire, he also made four appearances in List A one-day cricket in the Axa Equity & Law League.[3] He was released by Yorkshire at the end of the 1995 season, alongside teammates Paul Grayson and Simon Kellett.[4]

Milburn joined Hampshire ahead of the 1996 season. He made his debut for Hampshire in a one-day match against Ireland in the 1996 Benson & Hedges Cup,[3] with his first-class debut for the county coming against Oxford University in the same season.[5] He played for Hampshire for two seasons, making 21 first-class and 15 one-day appearances.[5][3] In first-class cricket, he took 39 wickets for Hampshire at an average of 52.97, with best figures of 4 for 38.[2] As a lower order batsman, he recorded his only half century when he made an unbeaten 54 against the touring Indians at Southampton in 1996.[6] In one-day cricket, he took 13 wickets for Hampshire at an average of 42.53, with best figures of 2 for 7.[7] Having spent part of the 1997 season injured,[8] he was released by Hampshire at the end of that season. Following his release, Milburn returned to the North of England, where he played club cricket in the Nidderdale Cricket League.[9]
