Steven John Miles (born 15 November 1977) is an Australian politician who was the 40th premier of Queensland, in office for 10 months from 2023 to 2024.[2] He is the state leader of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and previously served as deputy premier from 2020 to 2023.

Miles was born in Brisbane and completed a PhD on the trade union movement at the University of Queensland. Prior to entering parliament he worked as a union official, political adviser, and public relations consultant. He was elected to parliament at the 2015 Queensland state election, initially representing the seat of Mount Coot-tha before switching to Murrumba at the 2017 election. Miles was appointed to state cabinet after the 2015 election victory and replaced Jackie Trad as Annastacia Palaszczuk's deputy in 2020. He succeeded Palaszcuk as ALP leader and premier unopposed following her retirement in December 2023.

Miles led the Labor party into the 2024 Queensland state election in a bid to win a fourth term in office but were defeated by the opposition Liberal National Party (LNP). He was succeeded by David Crisafulli on 28 October 2024.
