Miller Place Historic District is a national historic district located at Miller Place in Suffolk County, New York. The district contains 27 contributing buildings. It encompasses a concentration of the rural vernacular architecture characteristic of Long Island from the mid-18th through late 19th century. They are largely 1- to  2 1⁄2-story, wood frame dwellings sheathed in clapboard or wood shingles. Also included is the Miller Place Academy building.[2]

The Historic District spans from the William Miller Homestead on North Country Road(CR 20)at the west end, to just beyond the Vassilaros house, then turns northeast along Lower Rocky Point Road until it reaches Gully Landing Road to the east end. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and was the first national historic district in the Town of Brookhaven.[1]
