Michael Silberbauer (born 7 July 1981) is a former Danish professional footballer. He is currently coaching assistant for FC Biel-Bienne in the Swiss Challenge League. His strongest positions on the field were right wing and central midfielder. He has played left back for the Danish national team as well.

Silberbauer has previously played more than a 100 games for each Danish club Aalborg BK and FC Copenhagen, winning three Danish Superliga titles with FC Copenhagen. He has been capped 25 times for the Denmark national football team, scoring a single goal.

Born in Støvring, Silberbauer started his career playing youth football for local amateur team Støvring IF, before moving to nearby top-flight club Aalborg BK (AaB). He made his Danish Superliga debut for AaB in the 3–2 win against defending Superliga champions Herfølge BK on 26 July 2000, and he played 28 of 33 games during the 2000-01 Danish Superliga season. Silberbauer played a total 105 Superliga games for AaB until December 2003, and was named AaB player of the year in both 2001 and 2002.

In January 2004, Silberbauer moved on to Superliga rivals FC Copenhagen (FCK) in a transfer deal reportedly worth between 7–10 million DKK. In his first six months with FCK, he won both the 2003-04 Danish Superliga championship and the 2003-04 Danish Cup trophy. In the spring of 2005, he was in top form, scoring four goals in two games, before he suffered an injury in a game against arch rivals Brøndby IF. He won a further two Danish Superliga titles with FCK, before leaving the club as his contract expired in the Summer 2008.
