Freddie Miller (1929 – 1992) was a local television personality in Atlanta, Georgia, United States having worked for WAGA-TV.

Miller is fondly remembered by professional wrestling fans as Gordon Solie's co-host on Georgia Championship Wrestling, which was later re-named World Championship Wrestling. When Vince McMahon, Jr. bought GCW's time slot, Solie left the promotion but Miller stayed on until McMahon sold the promotion and time slot to Jim Crockett, Jr. of Jim Crockett Promotions. He is also remembered for his trademark "Don't miss it...BEEE THERE" exclamation when advertising upcoming house shows. During McMahon's ownership of Georgia Championship Wrestling, Miller served double duty as co-host of Gorilla Monsoon and as ring announcer for in-studio matches.

Miller is also remembered as the host of Stars of Tomorrow and Dance Party - both locally produced shows which featured local talent.

After leaving GCW, he retired. He died from a heart attack on November 25, 1992, at the age of 63.
