Harriet Ellan Miers (born August 10, 1945) is an American lawyer. She was the White House Counsel to President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007. She is a member of the Republican Party. Miers was White House Staff Secretary from 2001 to 2003 and White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy from 2003 until 2005. 
In October 2005, Miers was nominated by Bush to be an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. However, many Republicans and Democrats did not support her nomination. Miers asked President Bush to withdraw her nomination a few weeks later.
