Michael John "Mike" Minogue, QSO (20 October 1923 – 27 November 2008), was a National Party politician, lawyer and mayor.
Minogue was born on 20 October 1923. He attended Timaru Boys' High School, St. Patrick's College Silverstream, and Victoria University.
He was Mayor of Hamilton, New Zealand from 1968 to 1976, when he resigned to become a Member of Parliament. He strongly opposed many of the policies of his own party's leader, Robert Muldoon.
He represented the Hamilton West electorate until the 1984 election, when he lost to Labour Party challenger Trevor Mallard.
In the 1990 Queen's Birthday Honours, Minogue was made a Companion of the Queen's Service Order for public services.
