Michael Butler (2 October 1916 – 2 January 1987) was an Irish hurling player. He played with the Faughs GAA club in Dublin and was a member of the Dublin senior inter-county team from 1938 to 1945. Butler also returned to his native county and played for Kilkenny in 1946. He was once referred to as "The only full back who could keep Mick Mackey in his place".[citation needed]
