Michael James "Mick" Horan (born 1 July 1944 in Brisbane, Queensland) is a National Party politician representing the seat of Toowoomba South in the Queensland Legislative Assembly since 18 May 1991. He is the Shadow Minister for Primary Industries and Fisheries.
Horan entered politics at the 1991 by-election to replace property developer and Toowoomba mayor Clive Berghofer, who had previously held the seat for the National Party until the state's electoral laws were amended to prevent simultaneous service in state and local government positions.
Mr Horan was leader of the National Party and Opposition 2 March 2001 - 4 February 2003. He did not fight a general election as leader.
He captained the Australian Universities rugby union team, and played for the Parramatta Eels rugby league team in Sydney from 1968 to 1970, before moving to Gympie, Queensland to run a dairy farm.
Mr Horan is married with three children, two sons Matthew Horan (media consultant) and Tim Horan (former International footballer) and a daughter Emma Campbell.
