Michel Sanchez (born 1 July 1957) is a French musician. He studied piano and classical organ percussion in his youth, and in 1992, he co-founded the world music project Deep Forest with Éric Mouquet, which won two Grammy Awards during that decade.

Sanchez left Deep Forest in 2005 to focus on his solo career, which he had launched in 1994 with the album Windows. He has since released eight further albums, including Welenga in 1997, with Wes Madiko.
