Alan Mills, CM, (born Albert Miller September 7, 1913(sometimes given as 1912) – June 14, 1977 ) was a Canadian folksinger, writer, and actor. He was best known for popularizing Canadian folk music, and he composed the classic folk song I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly (with lyrics by Rose Bonne) which was later recorded by Burl Ives, Peter Paul and Mary and many others. He also appeared on several radio and television programs and in movies. He was made a Member of the Order of Canada in 1974 for his contributions to Canadian folklore.
