Michael Sullivan (born 18 June 1980 in Taree, New South Wales, New South Wales, Australia) is a professional rugby league player for the Bulldogs in the Australian National Rugby League (NRL) competition. His usual position is hooker. Sullivan previously played for the Cronulla Sharks and the Northern Eagles as well as the Warrington Wolves in the European Super league.

Sullivan joined the Wolves following a highly publicised revelation that he had a gambling addiction for many years and the lucrative contract he was offered by the Super League club would go along way in paying off his gambling debts.[citation needed]

One of rugby league's pin-up players, he was selected as one of Cleo magazine's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors for 2001, and was a finalist in the Sexiest Man In Rugby League competition in 2001 and 2005. He was also the male centrefold in Cleo magazine for the October 2005 issue.

Sullivan will return to the NRL in 2008 to play with the Bulldogs on a two year contract.
