Michael 'Mick' Nunan is a former Australian rules football player who played one match in the VFL for the Richmond Football Club in 1971. He was senior coach of the Fitzroy Football Club in 1996, their final year prior to merging with the Brisbane Bears to form the Brisbane Lions.
Nunan was best known for his career in the SANFL, during which he was directly involved in seven premierships. During his 189 games with Sturt from 1966 to 1977 he played in their 1969, 1970, 1974 and 1976 premiership sides. He played in the 1978 premiership side during the first of his three seasons at Norwood. He then coached North Adelaide to premierships in 1987 and 1991 during his twelve seasons as senior coach.
His solitary VFL senior game came whilst he was on National Service training in Melbourne. The previous week he had played in the Richmond reserves side whilst fellow Sturt footballer and conscript, Malcolm Greenslade, played in the senior side. The next week they both played in the seniors. Both then returned to the SANFL.
