Colin Fyfe Miller (born 4 October 1964) is a Canadian professional soccer coach who captained the Canadian national team several times while earning 61 caps (scoring 5 goals) in total.
Moving to Vancouver at the age of 10, Miller began his professional playing career as a 17-year-old, joining the Toronto Blizzard of the NASL in 1982. After playing 23 games over three seasons with the Blizzard, Miller joined Scottish giants Rangers, where he spent the 1984–85 and 1985–86 seasons, appearing in four first-team games.
Miller played in 61 games and scored three goals for Football League side Doncaster Rovers in 1986–87 and 1987–88, for Scottish Football League club Hamilton Academical 199 times over six seasons (1989–94), St Johnstone in 12 games in 1994, Heart of Midlothian 16 games in 1994–95, Dunfermline 62 times over three seasons (1995–98), Ayr United six times in 1998, and eight times as a player-manager of Academical in 1998–99. Miller also played two summer seasons for the Hamilton Steelers in the Canadian Soccer League, playing 27 times in 1988 and 11 times in 1990.
Miller made his national team debut against Scotland on 19 June 1983 and was a squad member for Canada's only World Cup finals appearance in 1986 although he did not play. He has represented Canada in 26 FIFA World Cup qualification matches. His final international was a November 1997 World Cup qualification match against Costa Rica, a game in which seven other national team veterans finished their international career.
