Dr. Know (born September 15, 1958 in Washington, D.C.) is the stage name of Gary Miller, guitarist for Bad Brains, regarded as one of punk rock's most innovative and important bands.

He has recently made an appearance at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, PA. He played two songs with students from the Paul Green's School of Rock Music at the Best of Season show.
