Michael Weyman (born 13 September 1984) is a former Australian professional rugby league footballer. Weyman is the older brother of former Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks player, Tim Weyman.
Born in Moruya, New South Wales, Weyman played his junior football for the Moruya Sharks. While attending Carroll College in 2001 and Erindale College in 2002, Weyman was selected for the Australian Schoolboys team and was captain of the team. In 2002 and 2003, Weyman was selected for the Junior Kangaroos team and played for the New South Wales U19s in 2003.
Weyman was signed by the Canberra Raiders. In Round 10 of the 2003 NRL season he made his NRL debut for the Raiders against the Penrith Panthers.
In May 2008, Weyman signed a 2-year deal with the St. George Illawarra Dragons starting in 2009, despite being offered a 1-year extension with the Raiders. In 2008, Weyman was suspended for six weeks after punching Gold Coast Titans forward Daniel Conn, breaking Conn's nose and leading the media to brand Weyman as a "thug". The incident was the low-point of Weyman's 2008 season and he played only seven NRL matches for the Raiders that year.
In 2009, Weyman was selected for Country in the City vs Country Origin match on 8 May 2009. Later that month Weyman was named in the 17-man squad to represent New South Wales in the opening game of the 2009 State of Origin series. Weyman made his Origin debut on 3 June 2009, in Melbourne at Etihad Stadium. Weyman missed the final game of the Origin series with an ankle injury.
