Roger Miller (20 April 1857 – 13 July 1912) was an English first-class cricketer.

The son of William Miller, he was born at Reading in April 1857. He was educated at both Somerset College in Bath and Uppingham School,[1] before going up to Jesus College, Cambridge.[2] While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club in 1881, playing two matches against an England XI and the Gentlemen of England, with both matches played at Fenner's.[3] He scored 62 runs in these two matches,[4] but did not gain a cricket blue. Miller also played first-class matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1881 and 1884, making five appearances.[3] He scored 199 runs in these matches, with a highest score of 73 on his debut for the club in 1881 against Cambridge University.[4][5] Miller died at Lowestoft in July 1912.
