Michael Curran MacKenzie (born 18 September 1974) is a New Zealand former cricketer. He played two first-class matches for Otago during the 1992–93 season.[1]

MacKenzie was born at Ranfurly in Central Otago in 1974.[2] He played age-group cricket for Otago before making his senior representative debut for the team later in the 1992–93 season. Both of MacKenzie's first-class matches were Plunket Shield fixtures played in January 1993. Primarily a leg spin bowler, he took two wickets and scored nine runs in first-class cricket. He continued playing regularly for the Otago Second XI throughout the 1993–94 season and made a single appearance for the side in each of the 1995–96 and 2000–01 seasons.[3]

After his career with Otago, MacKenzie became a player-coach for Taieri Cricket Club in Mosgiel.[4] He played in more than 200 matches for the team, scoring 4,000 runs and taking 250 wickets.[5]
