Stenia Liliane Michel (born 23 October 1987) is a Swiss footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for FF USV Jena of the German Bundesliga. She previously played for FC Zürich of Switzerland's Nationalliga A, who were known as SV Seebach until 2008. Michel has been a member of the Switzerland women's national football team since 2005, but did not make her debut until March 2014, a 1–1 draw with South Korea at the 2014 Cyprus Cup.[3]

Michel became Switzerland's first-choice goalkeeper in the run up to the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, because rival Gaëlle Thalmann had suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury.[4]
