Mike Heron (born 12 December 1942, Glasgow) is a Scottish musician, known for his work in the Incredible String Band in the 1960s and 1970s.

He has also released a number of solo recordings, mostly more rock-oriented than the ISB material. The first of these, "Smiling Men With Bad Reputations", took eclecticism to a new extreme, blending rock, folk and world music into an atmospheric whole. Contributing musicians included Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, John Cale, Richard Thompson, Dudu Pukwana, Elton John, and Steve Winwood.

Since 1999 he has performed occasionally with a reformed version of the Incredible String Band.
