Alfred McMichael (1 October 1927 – 7 January 2006) was a footballer who played as a left back.
Belfast-born McMichael began his career at Linfield, before signing for Newcastle United in 1949. He remained at Newcastle until 1962, appearing 433 times and scoring once for the club. He was part of the team that won the 1952 FA Cup final, after his disappointment of missing the final the year before through injury.

He represented Northern Ireland 40 times.
After retiring from playing, he managed South Shields from 1963 until 1969, guiding them to the North Regional League title in 1966–67.[1]
