Jeffrey Glenn Miller was a student at Kent State University, Ohio, when he was shot in the head and killed by Ohio National Guardsmen in the Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970, while protesting the Vietnam War. At the time of his death, Miller had recently transferred to Kent State from Michigan State University. He was shot at a distance of 275 feet.

Three other students were killed in the shootings: Allison Krause, Sandra Scheuer and William Schroeder. The shootings led to protests on college campuses throughout the United States, causing hundreds of campuses to close because of both violent and non-violent demonstrations. The Kent State campus remained closed for six weeks. Just five days after the shootings, 100,000 people demonstrated in Washington DC against the war.

A memorial has recently been erected at Miller's former high school in Plainview-Bethpage, Long Island.
