Michael Edward Hopkinson (born 24 February 1942) is an English former footballer who played at full-back for Derby County, Mansfield Town, Port Vale, Boston United, and Belper Town.

Hopkinson began his career with Derby County, who finished the 1959–60 season in 18th place in the Second Division under the stewardship of Harry Storer.

The "Rams" finished 12th in 1960–61 and 16th in 1961–62, before new boss Tim Ward took them to 18th in 1962–63, 13th in 1963–64, ninth in 1964–65, eighth in 1965–66, and 17th in 1966–67.

He left Derby after new manager Brian Clough led County to 18th place in 1967–68.

Hopkinson then transferred to Tommy Eggleston's Mansfield Town, who finished 15th in the Third Division in 1968–69 and then sixth in 1969–70.
