Michael Johnson Parkes (September 24, 1931 - August 28, 1977) was a British racing driver.
He is notable for his two podium finishes, and his pole position at the 1966 Italian Grand Prix, won by his Ferrari team-mate Ludovico Scarfiotti. An accident at the 1967 Belgian Grand Prix ended his F1 career, and he was killed 10 years later in a road accident in Italy.
