Scott Miller (April 4, 1960 – April 15, 2013) was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist, best known for his work as leader of the 1980s band Game Theory and 1990s band The Loud Family, and as the author of a 2010 book of music criticism. He was described by The New York Times as "a hyperintellectual singer and songwriter who liked to tinker with pop the way a born mathematician tinkers with numbers", having "a shimmery-sweet pop sensibility, in the tradition of Brian Wilson and Alex Chilton."

A biography of Miller by Brett Milano was published in October 2015, and Miller's posthumously-completed final Game Theory album, Supercalifragile, was released in a limited first pressing in August 2017.

In 2014, Omnivore Recordings began releasing a series of reissues of Miller's entire Game Theory catalog, which had for decades been out of print. Omnivore concluded the series in 2020 with Across the Barrier of Sound: PostScript, an album of previously unreleased Game Theory material recorded in 1989 and 1990.
