Ricky Howard Miller (born 13 March 1989) is an English former professional footballer who played as a striker.
Miller spent time in the youth systems at Charlton Athletic and Woking before making his senior debut with Stamford in September 2006. He went on to have brief spells with Cottesmore Amateurs, Bourne Town, Rothwell Town, Corby Town, Hitchin Town, Fleet Town, Spalding United, Boston United, Cambridge City, Aylesbury, Wealdstone, Hemel Hempstead Town, St Ives Town and Arlesey Town. In his fourth spell with Stamford, at the end of the 2012–13 season, he scored the winning goal in the Northern Premier League Division One South play-off final. Miller then found success during his second spell at Boston United and was named the Conference North Player of the Year for the 2013–14 season after scoring 24 goals in 40 league matches. He signed with Luton Town in June 2014, entering the Football League at the age of 25.

He scored 45 goals in 46 appearances in the 2016–17 season, a record for the National League,[3] and was named National League Player of the Year.
Miller returned to the Football League after signing a three-year contract with Peterborough United in May 2017. He joined Mansfield Town on loan in January 2018 and was sold on to Port Vale in June 2018. He left Vale 12 months into his two-year deal after his contract was terminated by mutual consent. Having spent 1+1⁄2 seasons out of the game, he signed with Aldershot Town in January 2021 before rejoining Dover Athletic five months later. He later played for Grantham Town and Risborough Rangers before embarking on a fifth spell with Stamford.
