Michael John Bloomfield (* 16. březen 1959 Flint, Michigan) je vojenský letec a astronaut USA. Stal se 364. astronautem Země, v kosmu strávil při svých třech letech 32 dní.
Životopis
Je absolventem střední školy Lake Fenton High School ve městě Lake Fenton, pak se přihlásil k armádě, zvládl studium na vojenské akademii v Colorado Springs (ukončil roku 1981) a své studium ukončil po mnohaleté přestávce na univerzitě Old Dominion University v Norfolku.
Sloužil u armády jako vojenský letec, dva roky na základně v Německu, jinak v USA. Oženil se s Lori Ann Millerovou. V roce 1995 se přihlásil k NASA, v Houstonu absolvoval v letech 1995–1996 výcvik a byl zařazen mezi jednotku astronautů. U NASA zůstal do roku 2007.
Lety do vesmíru
V letech 1997 až 2002 absolvoval tři lety v raketoplánu do vesmíru na orbitální stanice Mir, resp.ISS.
- STS-86 , stanice Mir, start 25. září 1997, přistání na Zemi 6. říjen 1997
- STS-97 , stanice ISS, start 1. prosinec 2000, přistání 11. prosinec 2000
- STS-110, stanice ISS, start 8. duben 2002, přistání 19. duben 2002

The STS-86 flight was the seventh shuttle-Mir docking mission, symbolized by seven stars. The international crew includes astronauts from the United States, Russia, and France. The flags of these nations are incorporated in the rays of the astronaut logo. The rays of light streaking across the sky depict the orbital tracks of the two spacecraft as they prepare to dock. During the flight, an American astronaut and a Russian cosmonaut will perform an extravehicular activity (EVA). The mercator projection of Earth illustrates the global cooperative nature of the flight.

- The STS-110 mission begins the third and final phase of construction for the International Space Station (ISS) by delivering and installing the SØ truss segment that will be carried into orbit in the payload bay of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The Station’s robotic arm will remove the SØ segment from the Shuttle’s payload bay and place it on top of the United States Laboratory. During several space walks, SØ will be mechanically attached to ISS, and then multiple cables will be connected allowing electrical power and communications to flow between SØ and ISS. The STS-110 crew patch is patterned after the cross section of the SØ truss, and encases the launch of the Shuttle Atlantis and a silhouette of the ISS as it will look following mission completion. The successfully installed SØ segment is highlighted in gold. The SØ truss will serve as the cornerstone for the remaining ISS truss segments which together will span a distance greater than the length of a football field. This truss holds the Station’s massive solar arrays, providing electrical power for the modules of all the International Partners, and enables ISS to reach its full potential as a world-class research facility.
This is the crew insignia for STS-97, which will deliver, assemble, and activate the U.S. electrical power system on board the International Space Station (ISS). The electrical power system, which is built into a 47-foot integrated truss structure known as P6, consists of solar arrays, radiators, batteries, and electronics. P6 will be attached to the Station using the Shuttle's robotic arm in coordination with spacewalking crewmembers that will make the final connections. The spacewalkers will then prepare P6 for the subsequent deployments of the large solar arrays and radiator, which are critical steps in the activation of the electrical power system. The 120-foot solar arrays will provide the power necessary for the first ISS crews to live and work in the U.S. segment.
The crew patch depicts the Space Shuttle docked to ISS in low Earth orbit after the activation of the P6 electrical power system. Gold and silver are used to highlight the portion of ISS that will be installed by the STS-97 crew. The Sun, central to the design, is the source of energy for ISS.
