(1826) Miller (provisional name 1955 RC ) is an asteroid that was discovered in the Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana as part of the Indiana Asteroid Program . It was discovered on September 14, 1955, but was later found to be the same object as 1929 RV , 1940 WF , 1950 TD, and 1952 BL , which were sighted before the official discovery.

(1826) Miller is an asteroid of the outer main belt and has an average diameter of 15 miles. Differences in light reflected from the asteroid suggest that the period of rotation is approximately 6 hours and 46 minutes, but this is an assumption with great uncertainty.

The asteroid was involved in an occultation of a star of size 10 in the constellation Cancer in April 2004 .
