Michael Thomas Maria Wessing (29 August 1952 – 7 May 2019) was a German javelin thrower.

He finished fourteenth at the 1974 European Championships, won the gold medal at the 1978 European Championships and finished ninth at the 1976 Summer Olympics.

[2] His personal best throw was 94.22 metres (with the old javelin type), achieved on 3 August 1978 in Oslo.

When new javelin design rules came into force in April 1986, Wessing still stood as the eighth-best performer worldwide; in Germany only Uwe Hohn and Detlef Michel, both from East Germany, had longer throws.
