Michael John Mahon (born 17 September 1944) is an English former footballer who played as a winger. He scored 57 goals in 256 league games during a six-year career in the Football League.
A former North Shields and Loughborough United player, he turned professional with Port Vale in 1967. He spent two years with the club, before joining York City for the 1969–70 season. Following this he spent three years with Colchester United, before moving to non-league Wimbledon in 1973, despite having been voted Colchester's player of the year and helping the club to win the Watney Cup. He made FA Cup history with the "Dons" in 1975, when he scored the winning goal to knock top-flight Burnley out of the competition.
Mahon started his career with North Shields and Loughborough United before joining Port Vale as an amateur in May 1966. He became a regular in the first team after Jackie Mudie handed him his debut at Vale Park in a 2–1 win over Southport on 20 August 1966, before losing his place in March 1967. His seven goals in 28 games in 1966–67 were enough to win him a professional contract at the Fourth Division club in April 1967. After nine goals in 24 games under Stanley Matthews in 1967–68 and six goals in 37 games under Gordon Lee in 1968–69, he was handed a free transfer to league rivals York City in May 1969.
