Michael Robertson (born 14 April 1983) is a former Scottish international rugby league footballer. His usual position was on the wing but he could also play as a fullback with equal ability. He played for the London Broncos of Super League, and the Canberra Raiders and Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL. He was considered a player with natural pace and try scoring ability.

Robertson was born in Wellington, New South Wales, Australia.

Robertson played junior football with Valley Dragons in the ACT and was graded to the Canberra Raiders, making his first-grade début in 2001 against the North Queensland Cowboys.

After signing to play for the Manly Sea Eagles from the start of the 2006 NRL season, Robertson cemented his spot on the left win for Manly and played in the 2007 NRL grand final defeat by the Melbourne Storm.

He scored 3 tries in the Sea Eagles record breaking 40-0 2008 NRL Grand Final victory over the Storm, becoming the first player to score 3 tries in an Australian Grand Final since Steve Renouf did so for the Brisbane Broncos in the 1997 Super League Grand Final. He would then go on to play in Manly's 28-20 win over English Super League champions the Leeds Rhinos in the 2009 World Club Challenge played at Elland Road in Leeds.
