Mike Havenaar (ハーフナー・マイク Hāfunā Maiku?, born May 20, 1987 in Hiroshima, Japan) is a Dutch-Japanese footballer for Yokohama F. Marinos of the J. League, the top professional football league in Japan. Playing as a forward, Havenaar made his debut as a professional on April 15, 2006, against Gamba Osaka. Havenaar and his father Dido are the first father-son combination to play in the J. League.
Havenaar's parents came to Japan from the Netherlands in 1986 when his father signed on to play for Mazda F.C. of the Japan Soccer League in Hiroshima (now Sanfrecce Hiroshima of the J. League). The Havenaar family naturalized to Japan in 1994.
Havenaar began his career with the Consadole Sapporo U-15 side, where his father played and was the goalkeeper coach. When Dido became the goalkeeper coach with the Marinos, Mike joined the Marinos youth side. He is currently a member of U-19 Japan national team.
