Michael Sullivan (12 January 1934 – 5 April 2016) was an English professional rugby league footballer and coach who played as a wing. He started his playing career at Huddersfield before joining Wigan for a record transfer fee in 1957. He won two Challenge Cups with the club, and won a third Challenge Cup medal with St Helens after signing with the club for another record fee in 1961.

At international level, he won two World Cups with Great Britain (1954 and 1960), and made 46 appearances for the team during his career, making him Great Britain's joint-most capped player alongside Garry Schofield. He also holds the record for the most rugby league test match tries by a player of any nationality with 44.
