Bruce James Miller AO (born 1961) is an Australian diplomat and is the current acting Director-General of the Office of National Assessments.

Growing up with an interest of Japan and its culture since the age of 11, he learned to speak Japanese while at university.[1]
In 2011, Miller was announced to replace Murray McLean as Ambassador of Australia to Japan, on 7 April that year, shortly after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and arrived to take up his posting in August.[2]
