Miller Spur (75°7′S 137°29′W) is an ice-covered spur that descends northeast from Mount Giles, near the coast of Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica. The spur terminates in a small rock bluff about 1 nautical mile (2 km) west of lower Hull Glacier. It was observed and photographed on December 18, 1940, from aircraft of the United States Antarctic Service led by Admiral Richard Byrd, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for sailmaker Linwood T. Miller, a member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35, who produced windproof shirts, parkas, tents and other canvas materials for the expedition.
