Mike Hanke (German pronunciation: [ˈmaɪ̯k ˈhaŋkə]; born 5 November 1983 in Hamm) is a German former footballer who played the position of striker. He has been described as a player who "gives it his all in attack and is always dangerous in the opponent's penalty area."
He earned 17 caps for the German national side between 2005 and 2007, and was in the teams which finished third at the 2005 Confederations Cup and 2006 World Cup on home soil.
Hanke made his debut in the 2001–02 season of the German Bundesliga for Schalke 04. He was transferred to VfL Wolfsburg during the 2005–06 season upon request by then Wolfsburg manager Thomas Strunz.
In May 2007, Hanke moved to Hannover 96, and netted eleven league goals, while the side achieved a midtable final position.
After three and a half seasons with Hannover 96, he transferred to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
On 31 May 2013, Hanke joined SC Freiburg on a free transfer. He said "It's a great package here in Freiburg. I had spoken to Christian Streich beforehand and got to know the place, and I think I'll fit in well here, the opportunity to play in Europe again certainly attracted me, but I also see it as my duty to help the younger players achieve their potential.'
On 8 July 2014, Hanke transferred to Chinese Super League side Guizhou Renhe. After half a year, he returned to Germany.
