Michal Bat-Adam (Hebrew: מיכל בת-אדם; born March 2, 1945) is an Israeli film director, producer, screenwriter, actress, and musician.

Michal Bat-Adam was born in Afula, Israel to parents Yemima and Adam Rubin, who had immigrated from Warsaw in 1939.

When Michal was six and a half years old, she was sent to join her older sister Netta at Kibbutz Merhavia in the Harod Valley.

After developing an interest in theater, she auditioned and was accepted to the Beit Zvi School of Performing Arts in Ramat Gan and turned her attention to acting.

The film received favorable reviews, as well as a great deal of publicity, due to its frank depiction of the complicated relationship, including a scene in which she is in bed with actor Assi Dayan and the French actress Brigitte Catillon.
