Michael Braun (born March 24, 1978) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the AFL's West Coast Eagles.
Playing for Lockington-Bamawn as a youngster in the Northern and Echuca Football League, he was recruited from Echuca/Bendigo Pioneers and made his debut in 1997, and has been a great servant of the club and one who is extremely loyal. In a team that features high profile names like Judd, Cousins, Kerr, Cox and Glass, Braun's achievements are usually shadowed by these 'big name' players.
