Michael Lindsay Dunning (born 11 March 1941) is a former English cricketer and army officer.

Born at Windsor, Berkshire, Dunning was educated at Eton College, where he captained the college cricket team in 1959.[1] After leaving Eton, he enlisted in the army, where he served with the King's Royal Rifle Corps as part of the Royal Green Jackets.[2] While serving in the army, Dunning was selected to play in two first-class matches for the Combined Services cricket team, playing both matches against Cambridge University in 1962 and 1964.[3] He scored a total of 134 runs across both matches, with a high score of 85 in the 1962 fixture.[4] He also played minor counties matches for Dorset, making three appearances in the 1964 Minor Counties Championship.[5] He retired from military service in October 1973, holding the rank of captain. Upon retirement he was granted the honorary rank of major.[6]
