Dora Richards Miller (1842–1914) was a Danish West Indies-born American author and educator. She was born on the island of Saint Thomas and spent part of her childhood on the nearby island of Saint Croix before moving to New Orleans, Louisiana, following the deaths of her parents. She pursued a teaching career while supporting her younger brother and gained early recognition for her writing in New Orleans newspapers. Miller married Anderson J. Miller of Mississippi during the Civil War, later became known for her published wartime diaries, and went on to hold a prominent teaching position in New Orleans while contributing articles to national and regional publications.
