Michael Moncrieff (born 19 August 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Hawthorn in the VFL during the 1970s and early 80s.

A tall full forward, Moncrieff was a prolific goalkicker for Hawthorn and topped their goalkicking on five occasions. The two times that he kicked 90 or more goals in a season came in premiership years for Hawthorn, 1976 and 1978. In 1976 he managed a career high 97 goals and in the 1978 Grand Final he kicked four goals. He kicked 10 goals in a match three times and holds the joint Hawthorn record for most goals in a final, kicking eight in the 1978 Qualifying Final against Collingwood.

In 1984 he joined St Kilda but didn't make a senior appearance after suffering a knee injury which caused him to retire.

He later served as a member of the AFL Grievance Tribunal.
