William Milton Lamb (14 July 1909 – 21 June 2006) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
Lamb, recruited locally from Geelong College, was a back pocket defender. He played all 21 games for Geelong in 1930, including their grand final loss. The following season he missed just one game all year and again featured in the grand final, this time finishing in the winning team. He had been one of Geelong's best players in the 1931 Grand Final, with 13 kicks and a good defensive job of the Richmond rovers.
He lived until the age of 96 and was the last surviving player from the 1931 Geelong premiership winning side.
