Mickey Billingham (also credited Micky Billingham) is an English keyboardist. He was the former keyboardist of the pop rock band Dexys Midnight Runners.[1] After the band broke up, he and another member, Andy "Stoker" Growcott, became co-founding members of new wave band General Public, contributing to the band's debut studio album All the Rage (1984).[2]

Billingham went on to play in the Beat with Ranking Roger and Everett Morton, who have both since died.[3]

As well as being in the Beat, Billingham also teaches singing and performance techniques at Dudley College in the West Midlands.
