Walter "Gid" Miller (September 25, 1887 – December 19, 1959) was a Canadian professional ice hockey centre. He played with the Montreal Wanderers and Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey Association.[1] He appeared in 10 games for the Wanderers in the 1912–13 and 1913–14 seasons, and two games for the Senators in the 1913–14 season.

During the 1908–09 season, while with the Brantford Indians of the OPHL, Miller and the Indians were involved in a train accident outside of Guelph on January 14, 1909, where Miller suffered a season ending hand injury (cut off finger) when the rear coach of the Grand Trunk Railway passenger train they were traveling with ran into a ditch and overturned.[2]
