Lij Mikael Imru (Amharic: ሚካኤል እምሩ; 21 November 1929 – 26 October 2008)[citation needed] was an Ethiopian politician who was Prime Minister of Ethiopia from 3 August to 12 September 1974.

Lij Mikael Imru was thus born into the highest levels of Ethiopian society, and was a member of the extended Imperial Dynasty.

Both Lij Mikael and his father were known to have very strong socialist leanings, particularly in regard to land tenure and wealth distribution issues.

Although he was of royal blood, his long standing leftist sympathies led the Derg administration to spare him the fate of the rest of the Imperial dynasty, and he was never imprisoned as most of his relatives and former colleagues were.

Lij Mikael Imru died after a long illness in Addis Ababa, and was buried at Holy Trinity Cathedral.
