Mike Manzini (born 29 November 1972 in Hoedspruit, Limpopo) is a South African former association football defender. He spent his entire career at Premier Soccer League club Mamelodi Sundowns and also played for South Africa.
Manzini was Sundowns' captain who made well over 250 appearances for the club. His work in defence often went unnoticed, but it was a sign of his experience, composure and reading of the play that he very rarely found himself having to make a last-gasp tackle or clearance.
