Michael Meeks (born February 23, 1972) is a Canadian former professional basketball player. He is a former member of the Canadian men's national basketball team and is currently working for Canada Basketball.
A 6'9", 235 lb. centre-power forward, Meeks led Canisius College in his senior year in 1996 to the school's only NCAA Tournament appearance since the mid-1950s. They lost badly in the first round, however, to the Utah Utes. He finished his four-year career as the school's second all-time scorer and rebounder and was inducted in the Hall of Fame in January 2007.
