Chauncey W. Millard (c. 1851 – January 29, 1869) was a 19th-century criminal in the Utah Territory convicted of murder. At 18, he became the youngest individual executed in Utah's history. Millard confessed to killing his coworker, Harlan Swett, following an argument. Before his execution by firing squad, Millard sold his body to a doctor in exchange for a pound of candy, which he reportedly consumed while awaiting execution.
