Michael Paul Benjamin (born November 22, 1965 in Euclid, Ohio) is a former infielder in Major League Baseball who played primarily as a shortstop from 1989-2000 and in 2002. He played mostly for the San Francisco Giants as a utility infielder. He played college baseball at Arizona State.

On June 14, 1995, he tied a Giants single-game record with 6 hits. This was part of a stretch in which he tied the major league record for most hits in two consecutive games with ten, set a major league record for most hits in three consecutive games with fourteen, and tied another record for most hits in four consecutive games with fifteen.

Mike coached his son's Little League team from Arizona to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA, in 2003. He now is an assistant coach at Arizona State where his son, Michael, also plays.
