Michael Bond (born 1948) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a centre-forward for the Galway senior team.[1]

Born in Ardrahan, County Galway, Bond first arrived at the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Galway minor team before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel during the 1968 championship. Bond was a regular member of the panel, but ended his playing days without silverware.

At club level, Bond was a three-time Connacht medallist with Ardrahan. In addition to this, he also won three championship medals.

Throughout his career, Bond made 3 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling in 1975.

In retirement from playing, Bond became involved in team management and coaching. After training the Galway minor, under-21 and junior teams, he managed Offaly to All-Ireland success in 1998.
