Michael Sokolowski (born 24 February 1962) is a retired Canadian sprinter. He was a member of Canada's 4 × 400 metres relay at the 1984 Summer Olympics, which placed 8th.[1] Alongside nearly every sprinter at the Scarborough Optimist Track and Field Club, Mike admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs at the Dubin Inquiry in 1989 and subsequently had his funding suspended.[2]

He is the older brother of fellow Olympian John Sokolowski.
