Michael Wilfred Miley (March 30, 1953 – January 6, 1977) was an American professional baseball player who played two seasons for the California Angels of Major League Baseball (MLB). He died in a one-car crash in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Miley attended East Jefferson High School in Metairie, Louisiana and played football at Louisiana State University. His exploits and leadership as quarterback for the Tigers earned him the nickname, "Miracle Mike".
