Kevin Austin Millwood (born December 24, 1974, in Gastonia, North Carolina) is a Major League Baseball right-handed starting pitcher for the Texas Rangers.

Millwood was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 11th round of the 1993 Major League Baseball Draft from Bessemer City High School in Bessemer City, North Carolina. After a couple of years in the minors, Millwood made his debut with the Atlanta Braves on July 14, 1997. A year later, he won 17 games. Millwood formed a part of the Braves' star pitching rotation, which also consisted of Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine, which at that time was regarded by many as the best in the National League.

The 1999 campaign was one of Millwood's best. He posted career-highs in wins (18, also achieved in 2002), ERA (2.68), strikeouts (205) and WHIP (0.996). He finished third in the National League Cy Young voting (losing to the Arizona Diamondbacks' Randy Johnson) and 26th on the National League MVP ballot. He was selected an All-Star in 1999, his only appearance in the Midsummer Classic.
