Muhammad Faisal bin Abdul Halim (born 7 January 1998), better known as Faisal or by his nickname Mickey, is a Malaysian professional footballer who plays as a winger or striker for Malaysian Super League club Selangor and the Malaysia national team.

Faisal was born in Mengkuang Titi, Penang, where he began his career playing for his home state team Penang at the age of 17 in 2015. The following year, Faisal made a big decision to move from his state of birth and spread his wings with Pahang's first team in 2016. Faisal spent five years at the club, and won his first major honour as a player as the club won the 2018 Malaysia FA Cup. His attacking performances earned him a move to an east coast club, Terengganu, where he later became a key member of the club. In the 2022 season, he helped Terengganu to achieve second place in the league table, also helped them to qualify for the 2023 AFC Cup tournament. After a successful two seasons with Terengganu, he signed for Selangor on a two-year contract.

At international level, Faisal has represented Malaysia at senior level since 2019, and was a member of the nation's squads at the 2020, 2022 AFF Championship and 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
