Louis George Mylne (1843 – 1921) was the Bishop of Bombay from 1876 until 1897.

After 21 years he returned to the United Kingdom, taking incumbencies in Alvechurch and Marlborough. His The Times obituary noted that although he

"belonged to the older school of high churchmen, he was able to work harmoniously with men within and without the Church whose opinions did not agree with his own”
