Mike Dean (born Thomas Michael Dean on August 24, 1963) is the bassist for American metal band Corrosion of Conformity. He sang on the band's early recordings from their crossover thrash era before leaving the band in 1987. He rejoined C.O.C. as the bass player and occasional vocalist in 1993 and collaborated with Dave Grohl on the Probot song "Access Babylon", a return to the punk/metal fusion of old.

Dean served as the engineer for C.O.C.'s 2005 Sanctuary Records release, "In the Arms of God." He was also the producer and engineer for Vampire Circus, an album by Maryland-based doom-metal band Earthride released in 2005 by Southern Lord Records.
