Michael Patrick Considine (c. 26 January 1885 – 2 November 1959) was an Irish-born Australian politician and unionist.

During World War I, Considine was president of the militant Amalgamated Miners' Association and was a member of the Marxist Australian Socialist Party, but he resigned from the latter due to his support for unions.

He immediately established himself as a spokesman of the far left wing of the party, even acting as consul for the Bolshevik government of Russia.

He was again gaoled for three weeks in 1919 after publicly declaring, "Bugger the King, he is a bloody German bastard."

He contested the 1922 election as an Industrial Labor Party candidate in the seat of Darling[1] and received 22.2 percent of the vote, but was unsuccessful.
