Michael John Tagg (born 13 November 1946) is a British former long-distance runner. He finished second in the 10,000 metres at the 1969 European Championships.
Tagg was born in East Ruston, Norfolk.[2] He competed in the 10,000 metres at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, finishing 13th.[1] His sister, Mary Green, competed at the same Games. At the 1969 European Championships in Athens he won silver in the same event in 28:43.2, losing only to East Germany's Jürgen Haase; Track & Field News ranked him fourth in the world in his event that year.[3][4][5]
Two years later in Helsinki Tagg placed seventh, setting his eventual personal best of 28:14.65;[3][6] he also set his personal bests for two miles (8:28.2) and 5000 metres (13:41.4) that year.[7]
