Nicholas "Nick" Miller (born 1 May 1993 in Carlisle, Cumbria, England) is a British track and field athlete who specialises in the hammer throw. He was the silver medallist at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the gold medal at the 2015 European Athletics U23 Championships. He holds the British record of 77.55 m (254 ft 5 in) for the event.
He represented Great Britain at the 2012 World Junior Championships in Athletics and the 2013 European Athletics U23 Championships. He studied at Oklahoma State University and is a five-time Big 12 Conference champion (three times in hammer, twice in weight throw). His personal best in the weight throw of 23.07 m (75 ft 8 1⁄4 in) is the British record. He is also a two-time runner-up at the NCAA Championships.
Born and raised in Carlisle, Cumbria, the son of Debra Brewer and Leonard Miller, he became interested in athletics after working with Jack Harper-Tarr, a physical education teacher and athletics judge. Miller began training in throwing events at the local club, Border Harriers & Athletics Club, where Harper-Tarr coached. Miller preferred individual sports and also took part in karate, winning a national youth age-category competition. Initially, he competed in a variety of track and field throwing events, but he became increasingly interested in the hammer throw after seeing a rival youngster throw beyond sixty metres. Nick has an older sister and two half-brothers.
