Michael Hawkins (born July 15, 1983 in Dallas, Texas) is an American football safety. He was a standout cornerback at Turner High School in Carrollton, Texas, after transferring from Dallas Hillcrest, where he was ranked among the top 100 players in the country by multiple recruiting services. He attended the University of Oklahoma for only one season, but he made an impact, playing in five games and returning an interception for a touchdown. After a few Arena Football League seasons, he was selected by the Green Bay Packers with the 167th overall selection in the 2005 NFL Draft. He was picked up by the Minnesota Vikings off of waivers in 2006.

He recorded five tackles (4 solos) with a pass deflection and returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown vs. UTEP.
