Wickliffe Raper Miller (January 6, 1932 – May 9, 1994) was an American linguist most well known for his work on Keresan languages and Uto-Aztecan, especially Shoshoni and Guarijio. He worked both on synchronic description and historical linguistics. Miller was a professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Utah from 1963 until his death.

His extensive unpublished field notes have been archived at the University of Utah, forming an important part of the collection at the Center for American Indian Languages, and have been used for continuing research and language revitalization.
