Michael John Hoban (June 6, 1853 – November 13, 1926) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as bishop of the Diocese of Scranton in Pennsylvania from 1899 until his death in 1926.
While Hoban was coadjutor bishop of Scranton, a schism occurred in the diocese. It resulted in a congregation leaving the Catholic Church to later form the Polish National Catholic Church in the United States.
