Michael R. (Mike) Turner (born January 11, 1960) is a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Ohio, representing that state's third congressional district, covers in Dayton.

Turner, a protestant Christian, was born in Dayton, Ohio and received a bachelor of arts degree from Ohio Northern University (Ada, Ohio) in 1982, a law degree from Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, Ohio) in 1985, and a master's degree in business administration from the University of Dayton (Dayton, Ohio) in 1992. Turner was a lawyer in private practice before he was elected mayor of Dayton, a position he served from 1994 to 2002. After losing in a reelection bid to Democrat Rhine McLin, Turner ran for Congress. The third district seat was open because of the resignation of 23-year Democratic incumbent Tony P. Hall. Turner was elected in 2002, defeating Hall's last-minute substitute, Rick Carne, and began serving in 2003 (108th Congress). Turner is a member of the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership. He was reelected handily in 2004. In 2006, the Democrats planned to target Turner for defeat. However, the primary winner, Stephanie Studebaker, dropped out after being arrested for domestic violence. Turner handily defeated a replacement candidate.

As of 2006, Turner is a member of the Armed Services, Government Reform, and Veterans' Affairs committees. Turner believes strongly in immigration reform, saving manufacturing jobs, spurring economic development in former brownfield sights. He also has petititioned the BRAC Commission for an expansion to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, which is very important to his district's economy.
