Guy W. Millner is an American multi-millionaire businessman who ran as a Republican for Governor of Georgia in 1994, United States Senator from Georgia in 1996 and Governor of Georgia in 1998, losing all three races.

Millner came closest to victory in 1994, winning 48% of the vote against Governor Zell Miller after defeating four other candidates in the Republican primary. His subsequent defeats were by increasingly larger margins. He lost to Max Cleland for the United States Senate in 1996 after narrowly defeating Johnny Isakson for the Republican nomination. His final defeat, at the hands of Roy Barnes for Governor in 1998, was a landslide. He has not sought office again.

Millner's campaigns were largely self-financed and he remains a major financial backer of Republican candidates.
