John Miller Stotsenburg (November 24, 1858 – April 23, 1899) was a captain of the Sixth U.S. Cavalry, and a colonel of the First Nebraska Volunteers.

[3] After graduating from the Infantry and Cavalry School of Application at Fort Leavenworth in June 1897, he was appointed as Professor of Military Science and Tactics at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in December 1897.

The following day, his troops drove the enemy across the Santolan River and captured the water works pumping station before the Filipinos could destroy it.

During those maneuvers, Colonel Stotsenburg commanded more troops than any brigadier general on the field in the Philippines had handled up to that time: the First Nebraska, four guns of the Utah Light Battery, and a battalion of the 23rd U.S. Infantry.

On April 23, 1899, Colonel Stotsenburg was killed in action during the Battle of Quingua while leading a charge on a Filipino position.
