Avigdor HaKohen Miller (August 28, 1908 – April 20, 2001) was an American Haredi rabbi, author, and lecturer.
He served simultaneously as a communal rabbi, mashgiach ruchani (spiritual supervisor) of Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin, and as a teacher in Beis Yaakov. After his son opened Yeshiva Beis Yisrael in 1986, Miller served as its rosh yeshiva (dean).
Miller was an American-born, European trained rabbi immersed in the demanding Lithuanian academic and mussar traditions. As one of the earlier prominent rabbis to use the medium of tape to distribute Torah lectures to the public, he reached a broad audience.[2]
