Michael Geoffrey King (born 15 February 1950) is an English professional golfer. King was born in Reading, Berkshire.
As an amateur, he won the Lytham Trophy in 1973, and played in the Walker Cup in 1969 and 1973. King began a career as a stockbroker, but following the stock market crash of 1974 he became a professional golfer.
He spent many years on the European Tour.
1979 was his best season by far: he won his sole European Tour title at the SOS Talisman TPC; was joint runner-up in the Belgian Open; made only appearances in the Ryder Cup and the World Cup; and finished the year in fifth place on the European Tour's Order of Merit.
His career was curtailed by ankylosing spondylitis.
