Michel Riesen (born April 11, 1979) is a Swiss former professional ice hockey winger.

Most of his career, which lasted from 1994 to 2014, was spent in the Swiss Nationalliga A, though he also played 12 games in the National Hockey League with the Edmonton Oilers during the 2000–01 season.

Internationally Riesen played for the Swiss national team in several junior tournaments and three World Championships.

On July 1, 2001, Riesen was traded from the Oilers, along with Doug Weight, to the St. Louis Blues for Marty Reasoner, Jochen Hecht and Jan Horacek.
