'''Miles Crowley''' (February 22, 1859 – September 22, 1921) was a [U.S. representative](/source/United_States_House_of_Representatives) from [Texas](/source/Texas).

Born in [Boston, Massachusetts](/source/Boston%2C_Massachusetts), Crowley attended the common schools. He was employed as a longshoreman, moving to [Galveston, Texas](/source/Galveston%2C_Texas), in the 1870s. He served as assistant chief of the Galveston Fire Department, and studied law to gain [admission to the bar](/source/Admission_to_the_bar_in_the_United_States) in 1892, thereafter commencing practice. He served as member of the [Texas House of Representatives](/source/Texas_House_of_Representatives) in 1892, and in the [Texas Senate](/source/Texas_Senate) in 1893 and 1894.

Crowley was elected as a [Democrat](/source/Democratic_Party_(United_States)) to the [Fifty-fourth](/source/54th_United_States_Congress) Congress (March 4, 1895 – March 3, 1897). He was not a candidate for reelection in 1896, instead resuming the practice of law in Galveston. He served as prosecuting attorney of Galveston County from 1904 to 1912. In 1920, Crowley was elected judge of Galveston County Court, in which capacity he was serving at the time of his death there the following year. He was interred in Calvary Cemetery.
