Milton of Leys (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Muilinn an Leigheis, meaning "Mill-Farm of Medicine" ) is an area of the city of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. It lies on high ground overlooking the Moray Firth, 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the city centre, to the west of the A9 road.

Since the 1990s, Milton of Leys has developed largely as a residential settlement. Construction of a local primary school began in June 2010, opening in August 2011. Previously, pupils attended nearby Inshes Primary.

Housing development has continued throughout the 21st century, with Milton of Leys being one of the city's fastest growing areas.
