Michael Wyse (25 June 1908 – 18 May 1970) was an Irish hurler. At club level he played with Erin's Own, and also lined out at inter-county level with various Waterford teams.
Career

At inter-county level, Wyse's career with the Waterford senior hurling team began in 1928. He continued to line out until 1939, however, he enjoyed little in the way of success during this period.
