Eleanor Millard (born March 4, 1942 in North Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian writer and former politician.〔(Eleanor Millard fonds ) at Library and Archives Canada.〕 After graduating from the University of British Columbia in 1965 she moved to Yukon, where she worked as a barmaid at a hotel in Dawson City before finding a permanent job as a social worker.〔
She was elected to the Yukon Territorial Council in the 1974 election, representing the district of Ogilvie, and served as Minister responsible for Education, Recreation, Manpower and Housing.〔
In the 1978 election, which was the first partisan election to the new Yukon Legislative Assembly, she ran for reelection as an independent candidate in the district of Klondike, losing to Meg McCall of the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party.〔(Report on the 1978 General Election ).

She has since published three books as a writer, the short story collection ''River Child'', the memoir ''Journeys Outside and In'' and the novel ''Summer Snow''.〔("Carcross author opens up about FASD" ).
