The Samuel Miller House is a historic home located at Lynchburg, Virginia, United States. It is associated with Samuel Miller (1792-1869), a successful businessman and investor who was among the wealthiest men in the South during the years preceding the American Civil War. It is a large frame house erected between 1826 and 1829, and expanded and modified numerous times through the 20th century. Outbuildings consist of a cottage, stable, woodshed, and garage. The surrounding property was contested terrain during the siege of Lynchburg (June 1864), when a cavalry skirmish occurred on the property.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
