The Miller Glacier is a glacier in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies in a mountain cut and connects the Cotton and Debenham glaciers .

The geological west group under the direction of the British geographer Thomas Griffith Taylor discovered the glacier during the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913). Taylor named him after Malcolm James Miller (* 1838), mayor of the New Zealand port city of Lyttelton and owner of the shipyard in which the expedition ship Terra Nova was repaired before it left for Antarctica.
