Henry Carleton Miller (February 1, 1828 – March 4, 1899) was a justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court from February 1, 1894, to March 4, 1899. ^{[1] [2]}

Born in Covington, Louisiana. ^[3] Miller attended private schools and thereafter read law without supervision to gain admission to the bar in 1851. ^[1] Miller was a United States Attorney from 1856 to 1861, ^[3] and a Confederate States of America District Attorney during the American Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, ^[3] appointed to the latter position by Confederate president Jefferson Davis. ^[1] Later in life, Miller became a professor of law at Tulane University Law School, teaching admiralty and marine law, international law, and jurisdiction and practice of courts of admiralty. ^[4] He was elected dean of the law school in 1889. ^{[4] [3] [1]}

Miller became a justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court in 1894, and served until his death, in New Orleans, on March 4, 1899. ^{[3] [1]} Miller died in his home shortly after an operation intended to relieve a bout of intense pain in his intestines. Although the operation was deemed a success, and the pain was alleviated, he shortly thereafter lapsed into a coma, from which he never recovered. ^[5]

Miller was married to Louisa Knox of St. Landry Parish. ^[1] He was a member of The Boston Club of New Orleans. ^[6]
