Michael Malone (born 23 October 1939) is the bishop emeritus of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle. He was previously coadjutor bishop of the diocese and prior to that, had been a priest for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney. He retired in 2011, saying he had been emotionally drained by the scale of sexual abuse within the diocese.
