Robert Joseph "Bob" Miller (b. March 30, 1945, Chicago, Illinois) was a governor of the U.S. state of Nevada. He is a member of the Democratic Party.

From 1967 to 1973, Miller served in the U.S. Army Reserves and later in the U.S. Air Force Reserves. At the same time he served as Clark County Deputy District Attorney, from 1971 to 1973. In 1979 Miller was elected to office of Clark County District Attorney, and was re-elected in 1982 (becoming one of the first Clark County District Attorneys in modern history to win re-election). He served at this post until 1986.
