Sir Michael Bonallack (born 31 December 1934, Chigwell, Essex, England) is an English amateur golfer who was one of the leading administrators in world golf in the late 20th century.

Bonallack won the British Boys Championship in 1952. A rare example of an outstanding golfer who remained an amateur in the era when professional domination of the sport became firmly entrenched, he went on to win The Amateur Championship and the English Amateur Championships five times each and the English Amateur Stroke Play Championships four times. He was a member of nine Walker Cup teams and played in the Eisenhower Trophy seven times. His best finish at The Open Championship was eleventh in 1959. He was the leading amateur at the Open in 1968 and 1971.

Bonallack received an OBE for services to golf in 1971 and was knighted in 1998. He has received numerous honours from golfing organisations around the world, culminating in his induction into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2000.
