Miller Field was a baseball stadium in Owensboro, Kentucky.

Miller Field's final tenant was the Owensboro Oilers of the Kentucky–Illinois–Tennessee League (also called the KITty League), playing there from 1937 to 1955.[1][2] Miller Field was considered the finest ballpark in the KITty League.[3]

Miller Field was situated at Triplett Avenue and East 18th Street in Owensboro.[4] Home plate was oriented to the northeast.[5] Its dimensions were 320 feet (left field), 365 feet (center field) and 320 feet (right field).[6]

Miller Field was demolished on September 19, 1955, after the dissolution of the KITTY League.[7][8] James C. Ellis, who bought the property, stated that the parcel of land was too valuable to be a baseball park.[9]
