Sir Francis Henry Miller (5 October 1865 — 16 June 1936) was an Irish politician and international rugby union player.

Miller attended Foyle College while growing up in Derry and studied law at Trinity College Dublin.[1]

A Wanderers forward, Miller was capped for Ireland against Scotland at Edinburgh in 1886.[2]

As a member of the Irish Unionist Party, Miller followed both his grandfather and father in serving as mayor of Derry when he was appointed to the role in 1901. During his second year in office, Miller was knighted after the coronation of Edward VII. He became the Derry town clerk in 1903.[3]
