Miguel Marcos Madera (born 8 November 1985), commonly known as Míchel, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Azerbaijani club Qarabağ.

Having been brought through the youth academy of Real Oviedo, he played with the first team of rivals Sporting de Gijón in both the Segunda División and La Liga, before eventually leaving for Premier League club Birmingham City in January 2010.

He spent the second half of the 2010–11 season on loan at AEK Athens, before returning to Spain for a three-year spell with Getafe. After a year with Maccabi Haifa, he signed for Qarabağ in 2015, winning the Azerbaijan Premier League and Azerbaijan Cup in his first season.

Born in Lena, Asturias, Míchel emerged through Real Oviedo's youth academy and transferred to Sporting de Gijón for the 2003–04 season. He helped Sporting's under-19 team win the Youth Champions Cup that year, and was named MVP of the final game.

Míchel started his senior career in 2004, with the club's reserves. Subsequently he progressed to the first team, competing in the Segunda División; he played 24 matches in the 2005–06 campaign and scored one goal, in a 4–0 away win against Gimnàstic de Tarragona.
