Milton "Milt" Wagner (born February 20, 1963 in Camden, New Jersey) is a retired American basketball player in the NBA.

Wagner played high school basketball at Camden High School. [Strauss, Robert.

"Legends have grown up around its stars, from the Sunkett brothers and Itchy Smith in the 1960s to Billy Thompson and Milt Wagner, teammates in the early 1980s, both of whom went on to play for the Los Angeles Lakers.]

A 6'5" point guard/shooting guard from the University of Louisville, Wagner was drafted in the second round of the 1986 NBA Draft. Wagner is one of the few players that have won national titles in high school, college and in the NBA. He achieved this together with fellow team mate Billy Thompson with whom he played in all 3 sporting levels (except for the NBA—Thompson won the title one year before Wagner).

Wagner is also the father of former NBA player Dajuan Wagner, and is currently assistant men's basketball coach for the University of Texas at El Paso. [http://utepathletics.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/wagner_milt00.html]
