Michael ("Mike") Stulce (born July 21, 1969) is a former shot putter from the United States who was an outstanding athlete at Texas A&M University. He won the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain. He is also three times national champion. In 1993 he won the U.S. National shot put Championships.

Stulce had returned from a 1990 two-year doping ban just in time to win the gold medal at the Barcelona Olympics. In 1993, he placed third at the World Championships in Stuttgart, but tested positive for steroids. Stulce was stripped of his medal and banned for life from competition.
