John Turner Milner (born September 9, 1826 in Pike County, Georgia; died August 18, 1898 in Birmingham) was a surveyor and engineer. As a railroad engineer he determined the location where the South & North Railroad would cross the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad and therefore the site of the future city of Birmingham. He also developed mining operations at Coalburg and New Castle.
