Victor W. Miller (born October 19, 1951) is an American politician who currently serves in the Kansas House of Representatives representing the 58th district and a former Kansas state senator.[2]

He was chosen to take the 18th State Senate District seat previously held by Laura Kelly and was seated after she was sworn in as the Governor of Kansas. Representative Miller completed Governor Kelly's Senate term and ran for the House of Representatives in 2020 instead of a full term in the Kansas Senate. Prior to that he had served as a Democratic member for the 58th district in the Kansas House of Representatives since 2017. He previously served in the House from 1979 to 1984.[3][4] After leaving the House in 1984, he had served as a County Commissioner in Shawnee County, Kansas, then as a Topeka Municipal Court Judge, until he was elected again to the House in 2016.[5] During his tenure in the Kansas Senate, he served as Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.[6]
