Michael John Maher, OAM (born 11 July 1936) is a former Australian politician. Born in Sydney, he attended De La Salle College, Ashfield and the University of Sydney and became a solicitor. A member of the Labor Party, he was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1973, representing the seat of Drummoyne. He held Drummoyne until resigning to contest the 1982 Lowe by-election, caused by the resignation of former Liberal Prime Minister William McMahon. Maher was successful, and held the seat until 1987, when he was defeated by Bob Woods.^[1][2]

In 2000, Maher was honoured with the Order of Australia Medal for service to parliament at state and federal levels, and to the Maltese community of New South Wales.^[3]
