Mount Mills is a Thirteener and California 4000 meter peak on the Sierra Crest north of Mount Abbot and south of Mono Pass on the Inyo – Fresno county line. The Mono Recesses are to the west.

The summit is named in honor of Darius Ogden Mills, a banker and founder of the city of Millbrae, California and the Carson and Colorado Railroad. The name appeared on the first edition of the Mt Goddard topographic map in 1912.[3]
