Miller's Ferry was a cable ferry located in Lillooet, British Columbia. The ferry was established in 1860 in order to connect two sections of Cariboo Road across the Fraser River during the height of the Cariboo Gold Rush.[1]

The ferry operated until 1888, when a truss bridge was built further upstream at the site of what is now the Lillooet Suspension Bridge.[1][2]
