Michael Richard Dawson – born 18 November 1983 – is a former professional footballer who played as a centre back.

Dawson started his career at Nottingham Forest playing alongside veteran defender Des Walker before moving to Tottenham Hotspur with teammate Andy Reid for a fee of £8 million.

His form in the 2009–10 season saw him included in England’s preliminary 2010 FIFA World Cup squad.
