Justin Mark Miller (born August 27, 1977 in Torrance, California) is a right-handed relief pitcher who is currently a free agent. He has played for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2002, 2004, and 2005, Florida Marlins from 2007 to 2008, and has been in the Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, and Philadelphia Phillies organizations. In 2006, he pitched in Japan for the Chiba Lotte Marines.

Miller started the 2007 season at Triple-A Albuquerque and was recalled by the Marlins on May 19, 2007, due to an injury to Ricky Nolasco. Although Miller had been a starter in previous seasons, the Marlins recalled him to fill a relief role, with former closer Byung-Hyun Kim taking Nolasco's spot in the starting rotation. The Marlins released him on October 3, 2008. On November 1, 2008, the San Francisco Giants signed him to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Miller is known for his many tattoos. In a move sometimes called the "Justin Miller rule", Major League Baseball told Miller that he had to wear a long-sleeved shirt under his jersey whenever he was playing because hitters complained about being distracted by Miller's sleeve tattoos.^[1].
