Michael Gault (born 15 April 1983) is a Northern Ireland international association football player who plays as a midfielder for Linfield in the Irish League. He also teaches Physical Education at Rathmore Grammar School in Northern Ireland.

Capped at every level for Northern Ireland, 'Gaulty' is a firm favourite with Linfield fans and has played over 250 games for the Belfast side. He is also one of several full-time players on Linfield's books. He scored a memorable hat-trick in which he scored two rebounds from the keeper and one from a goalmouth scramble, inducing the Michael Gault song to be sung across the stadium.

Gault won his first full cap in a friendly match against Georgia in March 2008 that Northern Ireland won 4–1. He was one of three Linfield players to feature in the match, the others being Peter Thompson and Alan Mannus.
