Harry Arminius Miller (December 9, 1875 – May 3, 1943) was an influential and famous American race car builder, most active in the 1920s and 1930s.

Miller engines were designed for the American speedways, where they powered the winning cars at Indianapolis from 1922 to 1924.
The 1925 Miller 122 monoposto had a very narrow single-seater body with a 1,977 cc, 8-cylinder, supercharged engine, producing 200 hp at 5,800 rpm, the highest power output of an engine built for the 2-liter GP formula.
