Michael Bleekemolen (born 2 October 1949 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands) is a former racing driver who raced for the RAM and ATS teams in Formula One.

He graduated from Formula Vee and tried his hand at Formula One in 1977, where he failed to qualify at his home grand prix. Nevertheless, he returned the following year and drove for four races, qualifying only once.

After Formula One he returned to Formula 3 for another three years and won two rounds of the European Championship, finishing second in the series, to Alain Prost. From there he moved to Renault racing before retiring and keeping an eye on his sons Jeroen and Sebastian, who are also racers.
