Millersview is an unincorporated community in Concho County, Texas, United States. It is located at the intersection of Farm-to-Market Roads 765 and 2134, near the west fork of Mustang Creek, and is a dozen miles southeast of Paint Rock.
It was named for Edward D. Miller, who co-founded the town with Henry Barr. It was granted a post office in 1903 which was still open as of 2020. After the population dropped to 70 in 1970 it remained around this level for the next 30 years. Several historic buildings still stand today, including the school's former gym, which is still active as a community center, though the neighboring former schoolhouse (no longer in use by 1989) has fallen into dilapidation.
The town is thought to be the only one in the United States to use the name Millersview.
