Michael Kandel is an American translator and author of science fiction. He received a doctorate in Slavistics from Indiana University, and is an editor at the Modern Language Association.

Kandel is perhaps best known for his translations of the works of Stanisław Lem from Polish to English. Recently he has also been translating works of other Polish science fiction authors, like Jacek Dukaj, Marek Huberath and Andrzej Sapkowski. The quality of these translations is considered to be excellent, especially given that Lem's writing makes heavy use of wordplay and other difficult-to-translate devices.
