The Miller Heights are a ridge on the Graham Coast of Graham Land in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula . It extends east of Sharp Peak .

Participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) led by the Australian polar explorer John Rymill carried out a rough mapping. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1959 after Ronald Miller (* 1928) from the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey , who worked at the station on Detaille Island in 1956 and headed the one at Prospect Point in 1957 .
