Michael I. Belkin (born June 29, 1945) is a former Canadian No. 1 tennis player.
Canada's top-ranked player five times between 1966 and 1972, Belkin had a career 17–12 Davis Cup record, including a 14–7 record in singles.
The right-handed Belkin attained a career-high singles ranking of no. 7 world amateur during the early 1960s. He joined the fledgling professional tour in the later half of his playing career, compiling a 36–36 career singles win–loss record. He reached the quarter-finals at the 1968 Australian Championships, which he lost to top seed William Bowrey. He also reached the third round in singles in his inaugural Wimbledon.
Belkin won ILTF tournaments at the Western Championships at Indianapolis in 1967 and at the St. Petersburg Masters Invitational in 1968 and 1971. He won the Detroit Invitation in 1965 and 1967 and the Buffalo Indoor in 1973.
Belkin's other results included semi-finals appearances in 1969 at both the Cincinnati Masters event and Canadian Open.
