Zella de Milhau (1866–1954) was an American artist, ambulance driver, community organizer and motorcycle policewoman. Milhau was instrumental in organizing Block Beautiful, a 1902 neighborhood beautification program in Brooklyn, New York. As an artist she was known for her etchings, which are included in several museum collections. During World War I she went to England to volunteer, and was appointed a recruiting sergeant in the Volunteer Training Corps. She later raised community funds in Southampton to purchase an ambulance, which she equipped and drove in France between the front line and hospitals. She received the Croix de guerre and the Medal of French Gratitude from the French government for her service. On her return to Southampton, she was briefly the area's first motorcycle police officer.
