Aleesha Beyoncé Miller was a fictional character in the popular BBC soap opera EastEnders. She was born on the show on 29 October 2004, and was played by twins Freyja and Phoebe Coltman-West.

The infant daughter of teenagers Demi Miller and Leo Taylor. Aleesha's godparents are her uncle Mickey and neighbour Pauline Fowler, whose heart has softened towards the Millers since she accompanied Demi to hospital for Aleesha's birth. She was the centre of an ongoing feud between her maternal and paternal grandparents, with she and her parents bearing the brunt of the turmoil. Demi and Leo took her with them when they ran away together. They left her with her godmother Pauline when they had to move into a squat. This led to her father's death from a heroin overdose, when Demi took some heroin to numb her pain and Leo overdosed because he thought she was dead. Aleesha left Walford with Rosie and Demi on 7 July 2006 to live in the Cotswolds.
