Michael Thomas Mann (April 21, 1919 - January 1, 1977) was a German-born musician and professor of German literature.
He was the youngest child of Thomas Mann and Katia Mann, born in Munich. After having pursued a career as a violinist in several orchestras (among others, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, where he played from 1942-1947), he was forced to give up professional music due to a neuropathy. He then studied German literature at Harvard, and later worked as a professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
He committed suicide in Orinda, California, in the United States.
