Bill Miner (1847 - September 2, 1913) was a noted American criminal, originally from Bowling Green, Kentucky, who served several prison terms for stagecoach robbery. Known for his unusual politeness while committing robberies, he was widely nicknamed The Gentleman Robber or The Gentleman Bandit.

After his third prison term, Miner moved to Canada, where he adopted the pseudonym George Edwards and staged Canada's first-ever train robbery on September 10, 1904.

Miner was the subject of the 1983 Canadian film The Grey Fox, in which he was played by Richard Farnsworth.

Miner is buried in Memory Hill Cemetery in Milledgeville, GA
