Miles Bland (1786–1868) was an English cleric and mathematician.
Bland was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1808, as second wrangler and Smith's prizeman. He was then elected fellow (5 April 1808) and tutor of his college, and acted as moderator (1814, 1815, 1816) and public examiner (1817–1818) in mathematics.
Bland became rector of Lilley, Hertfordshire, in 1823, and a prebendary of Wells Cathedral in 1826, when he proceeded D.D. He was a fellow of the Royal Society, of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and of the Royal Astronomical Society. He died in 1868.
