Michelle Baumgartner (born May 27th, 1965, Melbourne, Australia) is an Australian track athlete and middle distance runner who broke over eleven Victorian and Australian 400 and 800 meter records and won a total of six Australian Championships at 400 meters and 800 meters throughout her short career.

Baumgartner, daughter of professional Australian Rules footballer, Ivan Baumgartner, took the athletic world by surprise at the young age of eleven, winning championships in both the 200 meters and 400 meters. She later become one of Australia's most dominant 400 meter junior track athletes, winning a gold medal in the 1980 Pacific Conference Games in Auckland, New Zealand.

Baumgartner's career as a senior athlete was short and tumultuous by all standards. Retiring temporarily at the young age of twenty due to over training, she did not compete again until the age of twenty-five. Once again, she took the Australian athletic world by surprise by making the 1990 Commonwealth Games Team and later qualifying for the 1992 Olympic team in the 800 meters, only to rupture her Achilles tendon prior to the Games and disappear from the athletic world.

Michelle Baumgartner now resides in Oregon, USA, and is the founder of the company, MVB-Health, a motivational and nutritional consulting company focusing on Health, Performance and Weight Loss.
