Michael Watson Sherrard (born June 21, 1963) is a former professional American football wide receiver who played 11 seasons in the National Football League from 1986 to 1996. He played for the Dallas Cowboys, the San Francisco 49ers, the New York Giants, and the Denver Broncos.

Sherrard attended Chico High School in Chico, California, where he was a multi-sport athlete, lettering in football, basketball and track. His mother Cherrie Sherrard was a successful 80 metres hurdler.

Although Sherrard came to UCLA as an unrecruited walk-on athlete, by his sophomore season in 1983 he was already a starter at wide receiver, was named to the third-team All-American after caching 48 passes for 709 yards and also set a UCLA record for sophomore receptions in a season. During his senior season, although he broke his collarbone and missed five games, he returned to finish the season.

Sherrard left as the school's all-time leading receiver in a season and a career, was a member of three Rose Bowl-winning Bruin teams. He ranks among UCLA's all-time receiving leaders, with 124 receptions (seventh on the all-time list) in his career for 1,937 yards (tenth on the all-time list) and 10 touchdowns.
