Michel Champagne (born 4 May 1956) was a member of the Canadian House of Commons. He was a businessman, political scientist and teacher by career.
Champagne was the mayor of Saint-Séverin-de-Proulxville from 1981 to his election for the progressive-conservative in 1984.
Champagne was among moderate supporters of the Quebec sovereignty movement, who gave a chance to the beau risque approach in the aftermath of the 1980 Quebec Referendum.
He successfully ran as a Progressive Conservative candidate in the Quebec riding of Champlain in the 1984 and was re-elected in 1988. Champagne was a member in the 33rd and 34th Canadian Parliaments.
Champagne lost his bid for re-election in 1993, against Bloc Québécois candidate Réjean Lefebvre.
Champagne ran for the Parti Québécois (PQ) nomination for the 2001 by-election in the district of Laviolette, with the backing of influential party insider and Cabinet Member Gilles Baril. However, local PQ card-carrying supporters chose Yves Demers over him. Demers eventually lost the election against Liberal Julie Boulet.
