Sir Miles Sandys (c. 1601 – 1636) was an English politician and author, MP for Cirencester in 1625.
Sandys was the son of Sir William Sandys (son of Miles Sandys MP, himself brother of Edwin Sandys, Archbishop of York), and his wife Margaret, daughter of Walter Culpeper. His younger brother was William Sandys MP, the waterways engineer known as "Waterworks Sandys".
He was educated at Hart Hall, Oxford, matriculating in 1616 aged 15, not taking a degree. He entered the Middle Temple as a student in 1618.

On 4 November 1622 he married Mary Hanbury, daughter of Sir John Hanbury. They had one daughter and three sons:

Sandys was elected MP for Cirencester in the Useless Parliament of 1625. The Parliament was dissolved by King Charles I after sitting for less than three months; Sandys left no mark on the parliamentary records.
He was the author of the treatise Prudence, published in two editions in 1634, which accounts for prudence as comprising memory, understanding and providence.
