Michael Francis "Mike" Pollitt (born 29 February 1972) is an English former footballer who last played for Wigan Athletic as a goalkeeper. He is now the goalkeeping coach at Rotherham United where he was a cult hero as a player.
Born in Farnworth, Lancashire, Pollitt began his career at Manchester United turning professional in the summer of 1990 following a two-year apprenticeship. On 5 October 1990 Pollitt joined Oldham Athletic on a month's loan as back-up for Jon Hallworth but did not make a senior appearance during his time at Boundary Park. In January 1991 he joined then Football Conference side Macclesfield Town, also on loan, debuting in the 1–1 away draw with Boston United on 5 January 1991. After a further appearance in a 2–0 FA Trophy defeat at home to Gretna the following week, Pollitt returned to Old Trafford. Pollitt was released by Alex Ferguson at the end of the season.
Pollitt joined Bury ahead of the 1991–92 season but was forced to play a supporting role to regular custodian Gary Kelly. On 26 March 1992 he joined Lincoln City on loan for the remainder of the season as cover for Ian Bowling following the departure of Matt Dickins to Blackburn Rovers and was not called upon to make an appearance.
