Milehouse is a late Victorian and 1930s suburb of Plymouth. It is now notable for a substantial traffic junction, the vast depot base of the local city bus company, a Wetherspoons pub and an undertaker. Formerly it was famous for the site of Outland House, the large family home of Robert Falcon Scott, who led the tragic British expedition to the South Pole and died on the return journey.

The area borders Plymouth's huge Central Park{{Cite web |title=Milehouse park and ride {{!}} PLYMOUTH.GOV.UK |url=https://www.plymouth.gov.uk/milehouse-park-and-ride |access-date=2024-02-28 |website=Plymouth City Council |language=en}} and is a meeting point for supporters and police before and after local football games at adjacent Home Park, the ground of Plymouth Argyle football club. It is a reputable area with good facilities and is convenient to the city centre, the nightlife zones, the parkland and the main road in and out of town.
