Mike Havenaar (ハーフナー・マイク Hāfunā Maiku?, born 20 May 1987 in Hiroshima, Hiroshima Prefecture) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Eredivisie side ADO Den Haag and the Japanese national football team.
Havenaar's parents came to Japan from the Netherlands in 1986 when his father Dido signed on to play for Hiroshima-based side Mazda F.C. of the Japan Soccer League (now Sanfrecce Hiroshima of the J. League). His mother was an athlete and a former national champion in the heptathlon. His younger brother Nikki currently plays for Nagoya Grampus and has previously played for the U-17 and U-18 Japan national team as centre back. The Havenaar family became naturalized Japanese citizens in 1994.
Havenaar began his career with the Consadole Sapporo U-15 side, where his father played and later worked as goalkeeper coach.
When Dido moved to powerhouse Yokohama F. Marinos, Mike joined the Marinos youth side and promoted to the top team in 2006. Playing as a forward, Havenaar made his debut as a professional on 15 April 2006, against Gamba Osaka. Havenaar and his father are the first father-son combination to play in the J. League.
