Michael Paul Benjamin (born November 22, 1965, in Euclid, Ohio) is a former Major League Baseball infielder who played primarily as a shortstop from 1989-2000 and in 2002.

On June 14, 1995, he tied a Giants single-game record with six (6) hits.

Mike coached his son's Little League team from Arizona to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA, in 2003.
