Devereux Milburn (September 19, 1881 – August 15, 1942) was an American champion polo player in the early to mid twentieth century.

[3] His father, a lawyer with the firm of Carter Ledyard & Milburn, was notably the chairman of the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo in 1901, where President William McKinley was fatally shot by an assassin.

Thirdly, he guided the Oxford University Polo team to victory in successive Varsity matches, winning by a margin of 14 goals on both occasions.

"[3] Milburn was featured on the cover of Time magazine on September 5, 1927, and was referenced in an article on the upcoming polo season in that edition.

[20] Milburn died on August 15, 1942, at the age of 60 of a heart attack, while playing golf at the Meadowbrook Polo Club in Westbury, Long Island.
