Michael John "Mick" Hancock (born 21 October 1969 in Stanthorpe, Queensland) is an Australian former rugby league footballer of the late 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s. An Australian international and Queensland State of Origin representative winger, he played in the Brisbane Broncos first five Grand Final victories in 1992, 1993, 1997 (SL), 1998 and 2000. At the time of his retirement from football in Australia in 2000 he held the Broncos' club records for most career appearances. He played out the rest of his career in England with the Salford City Reds.

Hancock started out playing in the under 16’s/18’s and A Grade in the Toowoomba rugby league for the Stanthorpe Gremlins. A young winger from Stanthorpe, Queensland, Hancock starred as a 17-year-old for the Toowoomba Clydesdales in the Winfield State League. He then joined the Brisbane Broncos for the club’s initial season in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership as a member of the first Brisbane run-on team that thrashed defending premiers the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles 44-10 in 1988's season opener at Brisbane's Lang Park in a side that included representative players Wally Lewis (captain), Colin Scott, Joe Kilroy, Gene Miles, Allan Langer, Bryan Niebling, Greg Dowling and Greg Conescu.
