Michael Robert Brewer (born 6 November 1964) is a New Zealand former rugby union footballer. He played rugby union as flanker or number eight and represented the All Blacks on 32 occasions scoring 1 try and winning 22 and drawing 1 of those games. He played provincial rugby for Otago and Canterbury in New Zealand's south Island.

Since his retirement from playing Brewer has become a coach and has coached in Italy and then in Ireland. In August 2008 he signed a contract with the Scottish National Rugby Union team as their forwards coach working, alongside Frank Hadden the head coach.[1] He quit in May 2009, after missing out on the head coach position when Hadden was dropped.[2][3] Brewer was technical director for the Flying Fijians National Team ahead of their 2009 European Tour.[4] He became head coach of Guinness Premiership side Sale Sharks in April 2010, taking over from Jason Robinson.[5] Brewer instigated a number of changes including signing more than ten new players and releasing a similar number.[6] In December, he was sacked as Sale had won just three of their first nine matches of the 2010/11 season.[5] However, he had originally agreed a 3-year club plan which was still in its infancy.[7]
