Pablo Miller OBE (born 1960)[1][2] is a former British diplomat and soldier who was first secretary of the British embassy in Estonia from 1997.[1] In 2002 he was given the Order of the White Star, 3rd Class by the President of Estonia Arnold Rüütel.[2] He was appointed to the Order of the British Empire in 2015 for service to British foreign policy.[1][3][4]

Russian intelligence claims that Miller was a senior officer in British intelligence who worked undercover as a first secretary of the British embassy in Tallinn, Estonia. While working at the British embassy, Miller recruited Sergei Skripal to work for the British as a double-agent.[1][5][6]

Miller was a member of the Royal Tank Regiment and the Royal Green Jackets in the British army.[1] He joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1990.[1] He worked in Nigeria before moving to Estonia.[1]

Miller worked for Christopher Steele's London-based private intelligence firm, Orbis Business Intelligence, which produced the Steele dossier.[7][8]
