Mike Manzini (born 29 November 1972 in Hoedspruit, Limpopo) is a South African former football (soccer) defender. He spent his entire career at Premier Soccer League club Mamelodi Sundowns and also played for South Africa.

Manzini was Sundowns’ ever-reliable and efficient captain who made well over 250 appearances for the club. His good work in defence often went unnoticed by onlookers but it was a sign of his experience, composure and superb reading of the play that he very rarely found himself having to make a last-gasp tackle or clearance.
