Andrew Galbraith Miller (September 18, 1801 – September 30, 1874) was an American lawyer, jurist, and Wisconsin pioneer. He was the first and only United States district judge of the United States District Court for the District of Wisconsin, which existed from the time Wisconsin achieved statehood in 1848 until the district was split into eastern and western districts in 1870. At that time, Miller transitioned to become the first district judge for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, serving until his retirement in January 1873. Prior to Wisconsin statehood, he served as a justice of the Supreme Court of Wisconsin Territory.
