Michael Paul Doyle (born 8 August 1981) is a former professional footballer who was most recently manager of National League club Woking.

Born in Dublin, Doyle started his career at Celtic before a spell on loan in Denmark playing for AGF Aarhus.

[2] Doyle made his début against Peterborough United in the Football League Cup in August 2003, and scored in his appearance away against Ipswich Town in a 1–1 draw.

After Reid's departure Doyle continued to be favoured by new manager Micky Adams, scoring in the crucial away win at Watford, as the side avoided relegation from the Championship.

In 2005–06, Doyle continued to play regularly, captaining the side on a number of occasions since Christmas, notably in the 2–0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Regaining his place in the starting eleven at the outset of the following season, Doyle was awarded with the captain's armband as he played regularly in the centre of midfield.

[11] United failed to gain promotion, but in September 2012, Doyle signed a new three-year contract with the club, committing his future until 2015.

[15] Doyle retained the captaincy during the 2016–17 season; a campaign which saw Portsmouth win the League Two championship after four years in the English professional game's basement division.

[24] He played in goal for 72 minutes in a 3–1 victory against Dagenham & Redbridge when regular goalkeeper Sam Slocombe was shown an early red card.

He credited his years playing Gaelic football for Dublin GAA club St Mark's in Tallaght with providing him good practice for catching the ball.

On 3 July 2023, Doyle was appointed as a Professional Developmental Phase coach at Portsmouth FC's youth academy, reuniting him with his former club.

[31][32] Doyle made his debut for the Republic of Ireland when he appeared as a substitute for Andy Reid in a 1–0 win over Holland in Amsterdam in 2004 but it was to be his only cap.
