Michael Geoffrey Harwood (born 8 January 1959) is an Australian golfer.

Harwood was born in Sydney. He turned professional in 1979 and has extensive experience on the PGA Tour of Australasia and the European Tour. He won five times in Europe, including a 1990 victory in tour's home tournament at Wentworth, which was then called the Volvo PGA Championship. He achieved a career best European Tour Order of Merit ranking of sixth that year. The following year he was runner-up to fellow Australian Ian Baker-Finch at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale. In his prime he played occasionally in the United States, but he never had a top ten finish in any PGA Tour event other than the Open Championship. In the mid 1990s his results declined sharply.

Harwood won his first title on the European Seniors Tour at the season ending OKI Castellon Senior Tour Championship by 3 strokes over Angel Franco. The win caused Harwood to finish 9th on the 2009 final money list. It was his first professional tournament win in 18 years.
