Michael Eugene Wells (born June 18, 1951) is an American former professional football player who was a quarterback in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Illinois Fighting Illini and was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the fourth round of the 1973 NFL draft, but did not appear in a Vikings regular-season game. He played for the Cincinnati Bengals in 1977 but saw very limited action.

He was an all-Big Ten Conference selection in 1972 before being drafted in the fourth round by Minnesota. A three-sport star in high school, he was also selected by the San Diego Padres in the 1969 Major League Baseball draft, but did not sign and never played professional baseball.
