Jimmy Michie (born 4 August 1971,) (pronounced 'Mickey') is an English former professional snooker player from Pontefract, Yorkshire, and a two-time WPBSA ranking tournament semi-finalist, who has also reached the World Snooker Championship. Michie has been described as "charismatic" by the snooker press.
In the 2006/2007 season Michie was ranked only 61, for the first of two successive seasons, having failed to do better than the last-48 (third round) in ranking tournaments, although he did get that far twice that season. In the Northern Ireland Trophy, after having beaten Ben Woollaston and six-time World Champion runner-up Jimmy White, he lost 4–5 to James Wattana, and he fell in the Malta Cup to Stuart Bingham, 3–5.
Michie has placed as high as no. 55 twice, in both the 2002/2003 and 2004/2005 seasons.
His first ranking semi-final (fifth-round) performance was earned, at the 1999 British Open by defeating Tony Drago, Marcus Campbell, double World Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan, and 1991 World Champion John Parrott, finally losing to Anthony Hamilton.
