Clarence Horatio "Big" Miller (December 18, 1922, Sioux City, Iowa - June 9, 1992, Edmonton, Alberta) was an American jazz and blues singer, chiefly associated with the Kansas City blues style.

He also occasionally performed on trombone. He recorded for Savoy Records early in his career, including with The Five
