Miccosukee Plantation was a medium-sized cotton plantation of 2,517 acres (10 km2) located in eastern Leon County, Florida, USA. It was developed by John Miller, from Duplin County, North Carolina, who had migrated south during the period of Indian Removal in the 1830s. He depended on the labor of enslaved African Americans to develop the plantation and produce cotton as a commodity crop.
Miller grazed 266 head of cattle, 160 sheep, and 250 hogs on the lowlands of Miccosukee.
