Michael Pickering is a former Australian rules football player who played in the VFL/AFL between 1984 and 1991 for the Richmond Football Club and then from 1992 until 1993 for the Melbourne Football Club.
Pickering was a talented footballer from Mount Waverley whose fine marking was the trademark of his game. Courageous and determined in his approach to the ball Pickering won the 1988 Tigers' best and fairest. That season he was made vice-captain and led the side well when Weightman was unavailable, he fell out of favour late in 1991 and was traded to Melbourne playing only two seasons with the demons .
