Mildmay is a community of people of English and German descent in the municipality of South Bruce, Bruce County, Ontario, Canada. it is northwest of Minto and south of Walkerton on Highway 9. Formosa lies to the northwest, and Neustadt to the east.

Shortly before Christmas every year the town has an annual "Hanging of the Green" festival and lighted night parade to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season, with free apple cider, a live nativity scene, sausages, a Santa, and Christmas carols.

The town's official mascot is a muskrat named Mildred, after Mildred Westmay, the first person to open a business in Mildmay.
