Michael Anthony Locksley (born December 25, 1969) is an American football coach. He is currently the Co-Offensive Coordinator/WR coach for the University of Alabama being named to that position in early January 2017. After serving as an assistant coach for several college football squads, he became the 29th head coach of the University of New Mexico Lobos football team in 2009. Locksley was fired on September 25, 2011 after going 2–26.

On October 11, 2015, Locksley was named the interim head coach at the University of Maryland for the rest of the 2015 season when Randy Edsall was relieved of his duties. Locksley did not return to Maryland after the 2015 season and joined the University of Alabama staff as an offensive analyst.

Locksley grew up in inner-city Washington D.C., and attended Ballou High School.

Locksley played college football at Towson State University. He redshirted his first year on the Towson State Tigers and then spent two seasons sharing time at safety and then cornerback, backing up Towson veteran Bryant Hall. For the 1990 season he had 43 tackles and two interceptions at safety, after he filled in for the injured Aaron Bates. He was named the Tigers' Defensive Player of the Year for his senior season. He graduated in the spring of 1992 with a degree in marketing.

He served as defensive backs coach and special teams coach at Towson State for the 1992 season, then defensive coordinator at Naval Academy Preparatory School in 1993 (defensive backs) and 1994 (defensive line), was outside linebackers coach at the University of the Pacific for 1995, then spent the 1996 season coaching tight ends and split ends at Army.
