Isaac Lawrence Milliken (August 29, 1813 – December 2, 1889) served as mayor of Chicago, Illinois from 1854 to 1855. He was a member of the Democratic Party.

Born in Saco, Massachusetts (now in Maine), Milliken moved to Chicago in 1837 and set up a blacksmith shop on Randolph Street.[4][5] Here, Milliken taught himself law and was twice elected alderman and appointed an assistant county judge.[5]

In the election of 1854, Milliken defeated Amos Gaylord Throop, who ran on the Temperance Party ticket, with nearly 60% of the vote.[6][7] Although Throop was the temperance candidate, after winning the election, Milliken declared himself in favor of temperance as well.[8] He ran for re-election the following year against Levi Boone, of the American Party and lost with 47% of the vote.[9]

Following his term as mayor, Milliken stayed in public service, becoming a police magistrate.[10]

He died at his home in Chicago on December 2, 1889, and was buried at Rosehill Cemetery.[11]
