Juan Bautista Miles Passo (24 June 1895 to 18 December 1981) was an Argentine polo player who competed in the 1924 Summer Olympics. He was born and died in Buenos Aires. His nickname was El Sordo, meaning the deaf one, because of hearing problems he developed while working for a railway company in Buenos Aires. In 1924 he was part of the Argentine polo team that won the gold medal. Polo is a mounted team sport in which riders strike a ball with long-handled mallets, and the 1924 Olympic tournament was one of the few times it formed part of the Games.
