Miguel Abia Biteo Boricó (born 1961?) was the Prime Minister of Equatorial Guinea from June 14, 2004 to August 14, 2006. He is a member of the Bubi ethnic group, and is one of the few members of his ethnic group to achieve political power in his country, which is politically dominated by the Fang ethnic group.

Biteo lived and studied in the Soviet Union, where he became a mining engineer. After returning to Equatorial Guinea he began to work for the government and became one of the most powerful officials in his country's oil industry. He was Minister of Finance from 1999 until 2000, when he was forced to resign following a corruption scandal. He is a close ally of the President, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, who appointed him to the position of Prime Minister in 2004. His government resigned on August 10, 2006, and was replaced four days later.
