Alan Goodall's late header shattered Rotherham's unbeaten record and gave Chesterfield a valuable home victory.
The defender rose the highest to get on the end of a long ball in the fourth minute of stoppage time, looping a header over keeper Andy Warrington.
Warrington had earlier made excellent saves from Jamie Winter and Jamie Ward as he kept Rotherham in the match.
But the visitors also had their chances, Reuben Reid spurning a fine one from 12 yards when he fired over.
