Michael 'Mick' Rea (born 10 December 1956) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and Perth in the West Australian Football League (WAFL).
Recruited from Edithvale-Aspendale, Rea made three appearances with Melbourne late in the 1978 VFL season, all of which they lost. He wasn't kept on Melbourne's list the following year and he joined Perth, with whom he would be a prolific forward. On six occasions throughout the 1980s, Rea topped the goal-kicking at Perth and he won two Bernie Naylor Medals as the WAFL's leading goal-kicker. He won the first in 1985 when he kicked exactly 100 goals and he backed it up in 1986 with 90 goals to again top the league.
