Michael William Hyle (October 13, 1901 – December 26, 1967) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Wilmington from 1960 until his death in 1967.
Michael Hyle was born in Baltimore, Maryland, to John and Elizabeth (née McCloskey) Hyle. He attended St. Charles College in Catonsville and afterwards St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Sacred Theology degree in 1922. He then furthered his studies in Rome at the Pontifical North American College and the Urban College of Propaganda, earning a Licentiate of Sacred Theology in 1926. He was ordained to the priesthood on March 12, 1927. After doing pastoral work in Washington, D.C. from 1927 to 1943, he served as pastor in Libertyville (1943–1946), Bradshaw (1946–1957), and in Baltimore (1957–1958).

He received his episcopal consecration on the following September 24 at the Basilica of the Assumption (Baltimore) from Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, with Archbishop Albert Gregory Meyer and Bishop Jerome Aloysius Sebastian serving as co-consecrators.
