Bruce Miller (born 1961) is an Australian diplomat and is the current acting Director-General of the Office of National Assessments. He has served on behalf of Australia, particularly in East Asian countries such as Japan, where he has had multiple postings. Growing up with an interest of Japan and its culture since the age of 11, he learned to speak Japanese while at university.

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.
