Christine Miller (June 4, 1918 – November 18, 1978) was a member of the Peoples Temple cult led by Jim Jones. She is notable for being the only known Temple member to publicly urge Jones against carrying out the group's mass murder in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978. Ultimately, she was unsuccessful in persuading Jones and died that same day, alongside 908 other Temple members.
