Michael Henry Crozier (8 June 1937 – 21 July 2012) was New Zealand politician and physicist. He was the fifth president of ACT New Zealand, a libertarian right-wing political party.

Crozier was elected as the ACT New Zealand president in March 2009, defeating Chris Simmons. Crozier resigned five months before his two-year term was to finish to take a long-planned trip to Europe with his wife. Chris Simmons was confirmed as the new president by the ACT New Zealand board on 21 October 2010.

Crozier had a PhD in physics, and was chief scientist at the Ministry of Defence.[1] He died on 21 July 2012.[1]
