Michael Preetz (born 17 August 1967) is a retired German football player. He spent his whole career in Germany, playing for Fortuna Düsseldorf, 1. FC Saarbrücken, MSV Duisburg and SG Wattenscheid 09, but he is mostly remembered for his seven-year spell at Hertha BSC where he ended his career. After retiring from active play, he stayed with the club, going directly into management.
Michael Preetz scored 178 goals in the top two divisions of the German league system. In 1998-99 he won the top scorer crown of the Bundesliga. His good form in this season brought him a call-up to Erich Ribbeck's German national team in early 1999. Overall he won 7 caps.
On 7 June 2009, Preetz was named as the new general manager of Hertha BSC, replacing former VfB Stuttgart and FC Bayern Munich forward Dieter Hoeneß.
