Michael Allen Nunan (born 12 April 1949) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the Sturt Football Club, Norwood Football Club and the North Adelaide Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), as well as for the Richmond Football Club in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Nunan had a highly decorated playing career, winning premierships with Sturt and Norwood before becoming coach of North Adelaide and leading the club to two premierships. He was also Fitzroy Football Club's last official AFL senior coach in 1996, resigning halfway through the season as news came out that Fitzroy's AFL operations would be taken over by Brisbane Bears and that the Bears would become the Brisbane Lions.[1]

Nunan was recognized for his achievements in South Australian football when he was among the inaugural inductees at the establishment of the South Australian Football Hall of Fame in 2002.
