Jo-Ann Roslyn Miller (born 22 August 1958) is an Australian politician. She has been an Australian Labor Party member of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland since February 2000, representing the electorate of Bundamba.
Miller entered parliament in a 2000 by-election upon the resignation of the former member for Bundamba, Bob Gibbs. Bundamba is considered a safe seat for the Labor Party, and Miller has been re-elected since.
On 16 February 2015 she was sworn in as Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services and Minister for Corrective Services in the Palaszczuk Ministry.
On 4 December 2015, Miller resigned from cabinet following a Queensland Parliamentary Ethics Committee Report stating that although she had not been guilty of contempt of Parliament, she had engaged in a "pattern of reckless conduct." The committee's investigation focused on revelations Miller had signed a document stating she had correctly disposed of confidential Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee papers, which were later found by an Opposition MP in a safe used to store those papers.
Her resignation came one day after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk signalled her intention to remove Miller from her portfolios.
