The Mill Inlet is about 13 km long, fjord-like and eisgefüllter inlet at the Foyn coast of Graham Lands on the Antarctic Peninsula . At its entrance between Cape Robinson and Monnier Point , it reaches a width of about 32 km.
The first aerial photographs of the area were taken in 1947 during the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947–1948). It was mapped in the same year by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). The bay is named after Hugh Robert Mill (1861–1950), longtime librarian of the Royal Geographical Society .
