'''Michael Lorkowski''' (born 26 February 1955 in [[Hamburg]]) is a German [[Association football|football]] manager and former player.

His greatest achievement was winning the [[1991–92 DFB-Pokal]] with [[Hannover 96]], while the team was still in the [[2. Bundesliga]]. In an unlikely triumph, they defeated [[Borussia Mönchengladbach]] on penalties on 23 May 1992 to become the first - and thus far, only - non-Bundesliga side to lift the trophy.

He also achieved three promotions to the 2. Bundesliga with [[FC St. Pauli]] (1984 and 1986) and [[VfB Lübeck]] (1995).

In recent years, he has devoted himself more to other pursuits. He has worked as a sports teacher at diploma level and also explored his love of sailing by captaining voyages off the coast of [[Schleswig-Holstein]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wsv45.de/presse.html |title=WSV/Presse |access-date=24 May 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070925180915/http://www.wsv45.de/presse.html |archive-date=25 September 2007 }}</ref>
