David Michael (born 31 July 1958) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer who played for Eastern Suburbs in NSWRL competition during the 1980s.
Easts would go on to reach the 1980 NSWRL grand final against Canterbury-Bankstown with Michael being selected to play on the wing.
In the second half, Canterbury player Greg Brentnall put up a bomb which headed in Michael's direction.
Canterbury winger Steve Gearin jumped over the top of Michael and caught the ball scoring a try in the process.
Michael played with Easts until the end of the 1984 season where the club finished second last on the table before retiring.
