    1826 Miller (provisional designation 1955 RC1) is an asteroid which was discovered at Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana by the Indiana Asteroid Program. It was discovered on 14 September 1955, but was later discovered to be the same object as 1929 RV, 1940 WF, 1950 TD2 and 1952 BL1, all seen prior to the official discovery.

    (1826) Miller is an outer main belt asteroid of about 24 km diameter. Variations in the light reflected from the asteroid suggest a rotation period of about 6 hours 46 minutes, but this is subject to a reasonably high degree of uncertainty .

    The asteroid was involved in the occultation of a 10th magnitude star in the constellation Cancer in April 2004.
