Misha Zilberman (Hebrew: מישה זילברמן; born 30 January 1989) is an Israeli badminton player. He competed for Israel at the 2012 Summer Olympics and the 2016 Summer Olympics, and also represented Israel at the 2015 European Games.
Zilberman was born in Moscow, Russia. He is an only child of his father, Michael, and his mother, Svetlana. His father was born in Russia in 1945, and made aliyah to Israel in 1991, with his wife and son Misha, and worked in Pardes Hannah and then in Rishon LeZion. Svetlana was born in Belarus. She began playing badminton at the age of 12, which is how she met Michael, who was her coach.
Both his parents come from athletic backgrounds. Michael was a member of the Soviet national floor gymnastics team until he retired as the result of an injury. He then became an assistant coach to the Soviet national team in badminton. Svetlana plays professional badminton. Her greatest accomplishment was winning a bronze medal in the 1986 European Badminton Championships for the USSR.
He served in the Israel Defense Forces from August 2007 to August 2010. He lives in Ness Ziona, Israel.
When Misha was still a baby he used to join his mother at her badminton practice, and with time he began playing himself. At the age of 12 he began his serious daily training. He began to compete in junior badminton tournaments in 2003. His club is Kfar Maccabiah. He is coached by both his parents, as his mother coaches him, and his father is head coach of Israel's national badminton team.
He won the senior Israeli Badminton Championship when he was 16 years old, in 2004. In 2006 and 2009 he played mixed doubles with his mother at the Badminton World Championships, as the Championships' first mother-son mixed doubles team.
In 2011, he competed for six months for Odense in the professional league in Denmark. In April 2012 he reached the finals of the Tahiti Air Nui International, improving his world ranking by 14 places. In 2012, he won the Israeli Badminton Championship in both singles and mixed doubles (with his mother). In May 2012 he was ranked # 64 internationally.
