Charles Henry Miller, N.A. (March 20, 1842 – January 21, 1922) was a noted artist and painter of landscapes from Long Island, New York. The American poet Bayard Taylor called him, "The artistic discoverer of the little continent of Long Island."


In 1860, at the age of eighteen, he had exhibited The Challenge Accepted at the National Academy of Design, in New York.


Miller was educated at Mount Washington Collegiate Institute,  and graduated in medicine at the New York Homeopathic Medical College in 1863 / 1864, receiving his diploma from the hand of William Cullen Bryant, then the President of that institution.


Miller lived in Queens,  at a summer estate, Queenslawn, originally purchased by his parents, Jacob and Jane Taylor Miller. He went travelled abroad again in 1867, (after going to London Scotland and France as a surgeon on the Harvest Queen,  sailing from NY); spending three years as a pupil in the Bavarian Royal Academy at Munich under the instruction of Adolf Lier.
