Michael Starr, PC (born Michael Starchewsky; November 15, 1910 – March 16, 2000) was a Canadian politician and the first Canadian cabinet minister of Ukrainian descent, his parents having emigrated from Halychyna (Galicia), then a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and is now Western Ukraine.

Born in Copper Cliff, Ontario, Starr was an alderman for the Oshawa City Council from 1944 to 1949.

In 1967, Starr stood as a candidate at the PC leadership convention, but was eliminated on the second ballot.

Starr was appointed chairman of the Workers' Compensation Board of Ontario in 1973, and served in that position until 1980.

He worked to make the national employment service more humane in its approach to the unemployed and, in his tenure as minister, extended unemployment insurance benefits to women and seasonal workers, and extended federal financial assistance to the provinces under the vocational training coordination act.
