Michael Rexford Nicolette (born December 7, 1956) is an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1970s and 1980s.

Nicolette was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida and was a member of the golf team. While a student at Rollins, he won the 1976 NCAA Division II Men's Golf Championship. He turned pro in 1978.

Nicolette had ten top-10 finishes in PGA Tour events during his career including a win at the 1983 Bay Hill Classic. In that tournament, he defeated Greg Norman in a playoff on the first extra hole. He was the first round co-leader at the 1988 U.S. Open, but faded in the last three days. His best finish in a major championship was T-13 at the 1983 U.S. Open.[1]

Since 1989, Nicolette has worked as a golf club designer for Ping. He led the development of Ping's first traditional blade irons the S59 series.
