Kevin Scott MacMichael (7 November 1951 – 31 December 2002) was a Canadian guitarist, songwriter and record producer, best known for being a member of the 1980s English based pop-rock band, Cutting Crew, who had a number-one hit in 1987 with "(I Just) Died in Your Arms". Cutting Crew was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1987.

MacMichael was born in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and raised in New Brunswick. In the 1970s, he was a member of the band, Spice. In the early 1980s he was part of the Halifax band, Fast Forward, when he met Nick Van Eede, who was touring Canada as vocalist with the band The Drivers. MacMichael left for the UK and founded Cutting Crew along with Van Eede in 1985. After Cutting Crew's run of success ended and Virgin Records let them go, he worked with Robert Plant on his 1993 album, Fate of Nations.
