The Miller Nunatak is a pointed and 580 m high nunatak in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It rises 8 km east-southeast of Mount Dickason from the ice masses in the lower section of the Campbell Glacier .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it on the basis of its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1955 to 1963. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1968 after the American biologist Herman Thomas Miller (* 1931), who from 1965 until 1966 worked on the McMurdo station .
