Michael Bissex (born 28 September 1944) is an English former first-class cricketer. He played for Gloucestershire County Cricket Club from 1961 to 1972.

Bissex joined the Gloucestershire ground-staff after leaving school at the age of 15.[1]

In 1967 he toured Pakistan with the MCC Under-25 side, and in 1968 he represented England's Under-25 side.[2] [3]

Bissex received his county cap in 1970.[4]

His domestic career ended when he was released by Gloucestershire at the end of the 1972 season.[5] According to the 1973 Wisden, he could not find his bowling form and his batting had also declined. The club awarded him £1,000 for his "loyal services and in view of a loss of a benefit".[6]
