Leslie Andrew Miller (January 29, 1886 – September 29, 1970) was an American politician who served as the 17th Governor of Wyoming from 1932 until 1939. He was a Democrat.

Leslie Miller was born in Kansas. In 1892, his family moved to Wyoming. He served in the United States Marines from 1918 until 1919. He joined politics following his service and was elected to the Wyoming House of Representatives.

He served the final half of the late Governor Frank Emerson's four-year term, the first two being served by Alonzo M. Clark. Governor Miller was re-elected in 1935. In 1939, he was defeated by Nels H. Smith.

After his gubernatorial career, Miller served on the War Production Board as well as the Wyoming State Senate.

As a youth, John C. Ostlund, the unsuccessful 1978 Republican gubernatorial nominee, once performed a tap dancing number in the city of Gillette before an audience that included Governor Miller.
