Sandro Miller (born 1958), known professionally as Sandro, is an American photographer. He has worked with actor John Malkovich.

Career
In 2001, Miller photographed Cuban Olympic athletes. This project was the first US/Cuban collaboration since the trade embargo began in 1960.

He has made promotional photography for Dance for Life, a Midwest performance-based AIDS fundraiser.

In November 2013 in Morocco, Miller made portraits of local tradesmen, nomadic people, snake charmers, fossil diggers, and Gnawa musicians.

In 2014, he re-created photographs paying homage to photographers in a project titled Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich: Homage to Photographic Masters, using John Malkovich as the subject in each image.
