Michael Stowell (born 19 April 1965) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and is currently the goalkeeping coach at Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Tel Aviv. As a player, he spent twenty years as a professional, eleven of which were with Wolverhampton Wanderers. He is married to former England women's international footballer Rachel Stowell.
Gaining his chance in the professional game at Preston North End in 1985, he impressed enough to receive a contract with top-flight Everton later in the year. In his five years at the club, he was loaned out to Chester City, York City, Manchester City, Port Vale, Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Preston North End. He signed permanently with Wolves in 1990 and was their goalkeeper of choice throughout the decade, making 441 league and cup appearances. He was named as the club's Player of the Year in 1991. In July 2001, he signed with Bristol City before retiring in May 2005. He then became a coach at Leicester City and has had six separate spells as caretaker manager in 2007, 2010, 2011, 2017, 2019 and 2023.
