Werner Milch (15 November 1903 – 17 November 1984) was a German lawyer.

Milch was born in Wilhelmshaven, the son of Anton Milch, a Jewish pharmacist[1] who served in the Imperial German Navy, and Clara, née Vetter.

During World War II, he served in the Wehrmacht and was a recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross of Nazi Germany.

After the war, he acted as co-counsel, alongside Friedrich Bergold [de], for his brother, ex-field marshal Erhard Milch, in the Milch Trial.
