Michael Lipman (born 16 January 1980 in London) was an English rugby union Flanker.
Lipman has also played at International level for England.
Lipman was born in London but was brought up in New South Wales, Australia. He was schooled in Sydney at St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill.
He played for the under 21 New South Wales and Australian teams, and played for the Warringah Rugby Club.
Lipman played for Waratahs 'B' but was unable to secure a contract.
He joined the Bristol Rugby club in the summer of 2001 and played in the Zurich Premiership during the 2001/02 and 2002/03 seasons, earning 21 games in total.
After Bristol were relegated in the 2002/03 season, Lipman signed for Bath.
In 2003 where he played over twenty games for Bath throughout the 2003/04 season, including Heineken Cup games. The following season he played 19 games, scoring three tries throughout that season. He missed the end of the season after rupturing a tendon in his ankle in February 2005. He had less game time throughout the 2005–06 season, due to a double fracture of his cheekbone and eye socket which was sustained in a pre-season win over Exeter Chiefs in August 2005.
After sustaining injuries in late 2006, Michael Lipman threw himself into community work during his time out of action, and his cheerful and committed attitude won him the Community Player of the Year award for 2006/07.
He was unavailable until January 2007, but marked his return by scoring a try against Montpellier in the European Challenge Cup, and finished the season back as the first choice 7, and in the England Saxons squad for the 2007 Churchill Cup.
