Michael Graydon Vandort (born January 19, 1980 in Colombo) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He is a left-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He stands at 6 feet 5 inches.

Having emerged in 2001 after impressive club performances, he was picked against Bangladesh in September 2001 after an impressive century. He has a current Test average of 79. Having been out of action since July 2002, he has introduced himself to Twenty20 cricket, though given his debut against Australia in an January 2006 ODI, when he scored at the scintillating a rate of one an over, young Michael can't exactly be classified as a crowd-pleaser. He recently scored a century in Sri Lanka's defeat to England on 28 May 2006. He nearly became the first batsmen since Javed Omar in 2001 to carry the bat through the whole innings.
