Michael Anthony Harkey (born October 25, 1966, in San Diego, California) is a former starting pitcher in Major League Baseball and the current bullpen coach for the New York Yankees. During June 2010, Harkey served as the Yankee pitching coach while Dave Eiland was on leave for personal reasons.

Harkey played at California State University, Fullerton. He was a first-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs in the 1987 Major League Baseball Draft.

Harkey played for the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, California Angels, and the Los Angeles Dodgers, appearing in 131 games. In 1990 he finished the season with a record of 12-6 with a 3.26 earned run average. Harkey played in the majors in 1988, 1990 through 1995, and then 1997 before retiring. He was plagued by shoulder and arm injuries throughout his early career with the Cubs. On September 6, 1992, during pregame warmups, he attempted a cartwheel in the Wrigley Field outfield, severely damaging his knee.

Harkey served as pitching coach for the Iowa Cubs before joining the Yankees.

Harkey's son, Tony, is an infielder for the Cal State-Fullerton Titans baseball team. His son Cory is a tight end for the UCLA Bruins football team.
