Michael Paul "Mike" Lookinland (born December 19, 1960) is an American former actor. He is best known for his role as the youngest brother Bobby Brady on The Brady Bunch from 1969 until 1974.

Lookinland was born in 1960 in Mount Pleasant, Utah, a small town located eighty miles (128 km) south of Salt Lake City. He has a younger brother named Todd, who starred in The Blue Bird with Elizabeth Taylor, and an older sister Terese. Lookinland grew up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He is a self-professed conservationist and "camping nut." He attended the private Chadwick School on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Southern California, and graduated in 1978.

Lookinland was a TV commercial actor before he was cast in The Brady Bunch, having done around thirty commercials. He has naturally sandy-colored wavy hair. Because his hair color did not match Peter's or Greg's natural dark brown color, he had to have his hair dyed dark brown and straightened to match. Occasionally, the lights on set were so hot that his dye job would run down his face. During the last two seasons of The Brady Bunch, his natural hair color was finally allowed to show.

His brother Todd appeared in a Brady Bunch episode that served as the pilot for a spin-off series called Kelly's Kids about a husband and wife who adopt three boys, one white, one black, and one Asian. The pilot was not bought, however.

Lookinland also provided the voice of Oblio in the 1971 animated film The Point!. Shortly after the final season of The Brady Bunch wrapped filming, he appeared alongside Jennifer Jones and Paul Newman in the 1974 disaster film blockbuster The Towering Inferno and on the 1970s TV show The Secrets of Isis.
