Larry Miller (born July 21, 1956 in Wiarton, Ontario) is a Canadian politician. He is a current member of the Canadian House of Commons, representing the riding of Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound for the Conservative Party.
Before entering federal politics, Miller was a councillor in Keppel Township, Ontario from 1991 to 1993. He progressed to Deputy Reeve in 1994, and in 1996 became the Reeve of Keppel Township. He was briefly a councillor in Grey County between 2000 and 2001, and between 2000 and 2004 he was mayor of Georgian Bluffs. He also owns a beef-farming operation.
Miller won the Conservative Party nomination for Bruce—Grey—Owen Sound in 2004, and defeated three-term Liberal Member of Parliament Ovid Jackson by almost 5,000 votes in that year's federal election.
With many historic Georgian Bay lighthouses in his riding, Miller sponsored Bill S-215 An Act to Protect Heritage Lighthouses in the Commons in January, 2008.[1]
