Michael Bond (born 1948) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Galway senior team.
Born in Ardrahan, County Galway, Bond first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Galway minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel during the 1968 championship. Bond was a regular member of the panel, however, he ended his playing days without silverware.
At club level Bond was a three-time Connacht medallist with Ardrahan. In addition to this he also won three championship medals.
Throughout his career Bond made 3 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling in 1975.
In retirement from playing Bond became involved in team management and coaching. After training the Galway minor, under-21 and junior teams he managed Offaly to All-Ireland success in 1998.
In 1974 Bond won his first championship medal following a 2-10 to 1-10 defeat of Castlegar. He later won his first Connacht medal following a 9-12 to 1-6 trouncing of Tooreen.
Ardrahan retained their title in 1975, with Bond collecting a second championship medal following a 4-5 to 1-11 defeat of Carnmore. He subsequently added a second Connacht medal to his collection following a 2-14 to 1-4 defeat of Athleague.
After a period of decline Ardrahan bounced back in 1978. A 2-18 to 2-14 defeat of Ballindereen after a replay and extra time gave Bond a third championship medal. He later won a third Connacht medal following a narrow 2-9 to 1-7 defeat of Tooreen.
