Michael McGrath (born 23 August 1976) is an Irish Fianna Fáil politician and a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Cork South–Central constituency, upon being elected at the 2007 general election.

He was a member of Passage West Town Council from 1999 to 2007, and a member of Cork County Council for the Carrigaline electoral area from 2004 to 2007. He has a commerce degree from University College Cork and is a qualified chartered accountant.

He was appointed the Fianna Fáil spokesperson on Public Expenditure and Financial Sector Reform but has since taken the role of Finance spokesperson after the death of Brian Lenihan.

McGrath represented Fianna Fáil in the Oireachtas delegation that met the Bundestag's Budgetary and European Affairs committees in Berlin in late January 2012. He represented Fianna Fáil in talks on government formation in 2016.
