Michel Deziel (born January 31, 1954 in Sorel, Quebec) is a former professional ice hockey left winger. He was drafted in the third round, 47th overall, by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1974 NHL Amateur Draft.

He was also drafted by the World Hockey Association's New England Whalers; however, he never played in that league.
