Michael (Manx: Maayl) is one of the six sheadings of the Isle of Man. It is located on the west of the island (part of the traditional North Side division) and consists of the three historic parishes of Ballaugh, Jurby and Michael.

The villages of Kirk Michael and Ballaugh are the two principal settlements in the sheading, with the parish of Jurby being more sparsely populated. Michael sheading is predominantly agricultural.
