Michael Carter (born June 29, 1947) is a Scottish film and television actor.

He was born and raised in Dumfries, Scotland. Carter was trained at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) in London. He made his film debut in An American Werewolf in London in 1981, although he is probably best known for his portrayal of Bib Fortuna in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi (his voice was dubbed by Erik Bauersfeld). In 1984, he played The Ghost of Christmas Future in George C. Scott's TV movie version of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He also starred as the husband of Brenda Fricker and Josette Simon in the 1992 TV mini-series Seekers.

During his five week shoot on Return of the Jedi, it took nearly eight hours to apply his make-up, with an additional 25 minutes to remove it.
