Michael Francis Thibault (born September 28, 1950) is an American former basketball head coach.
He coached the Connecticut Sun of the WNBA, and the Washington Mystics.
Upon his graduation from Saint Martin's University in 1979, Thibault entered into the employ of the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association, for whom he worked first as a scout and, after 1980, as director of scouting and as an assistant coach; during Thibault's tenure, the Lakers twice won the league championship.
