Johnny Miller (born on April 29, 1947) is an American former PGA Tour golfer who was born in San Francisco.

In 1964 Miller was the U.S. Junior Amateur champion.

Miller won two major titles, the 1973 U.S. Open and the 1976 Open Championship. His final round 63 in the 1973 Open at Oakmont Country Club is considered one of the most dominating performances in that tournament's history.

Miller was the leading money winner on the PGA Tour in 1974, and he finished his career with 25 PGA TOUR wins.

After retiring from the PGA TOUR, Miller chose not to compete on the Champions Tour on a regular basis, and instead became a golf broadcaster for NBC Sports. As a commentator he became known for his straightforward and sometimes blunt remarks, which sometimes earned him the enmity of the player being commented upon. He is regarded by television executives as the one golf commentator who can actually draw people to watch a broadcast.

Miller also owns a golf design company and a golf academy.
