Michael Sheridan is an Australian jazz/punk/noise guitarist.

In 1983 he formed a jazz punk outfit Great White Noise, soon followed by an improvisation group Slaughter House 3, with Jon Rose and John Gillies. By the mid 1980s, Sheridan had moved to Melbourne and formed Trans Waste with keyboardist Jamie Fielding. He also played in Whaddya Want? with David Chesworth.

In the late 1980s, he formed electro-punk band No with Ollie Olsen and Marie Hoy, and played with Michael Hutchence in Max Q. Following No, Sheridan formed Dumb And The Ugly with John Murphy and David Brown. In 1990 he released his first solo CD, Scaleshack, influenced by sampling and dub techniques. Soon after this, Sheridan joined Peril, with Tony Buck, Otomo Yoshihide, and Kato Hideki. His second solo CD, Digital Jamming, was released in 1996.
