Henry Valentine Miller (December 26, 1891 – June 7, 1980) was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist.

His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring, Tropic of Capricorn, and the trilogy The Rosy Crucifixion, which are based on his experiences in New York City and Paris, and all of which were banned in the United States until 1961.
