Hugh Stanley Miller (December 22, 1886 – December 24, 1945) was an American professional baseball first baseman. Miller played in Major League Baseball for the Philadelphia Phillies of the National League in 1911 and the St. Louis Terriers of the Federal League in 1914 and 1915. He batted and threw right-handed.
Miller joined the United States Marine Corps during World War I. He fought in the Battle of Belleau Wood, despite having a fever and being ordered to the back by his commanding officer, and took two Germans captive, earning the Distinguished Service Cross. Later in 1918, he was wounded at the Battle of Soissons and the Battle of Saint-Mihiel, and received a Purple Heart after the war.
