John Hugh MacMillan Jr. (1895 – December 23, 1960) was an American businessman, president of Cargill from 1936 to 1960.

Early life

He was born in Texas in 1895, the son of John H. MacMillan Sr. and Edna Clara Cargill, the daughter of William W. Cargill, the founder of Cargill. He attended Yale University.

He invested in the United States and expanded Cargill's operations into Europe and South America. During his tenure, sales topped $1 billion for the first time. He was succeeded by Erwin Kelm
