Michael Zakarin (born March 30, 1981) is the lead guitarist for The Bravery, a band that originated in New York City.

He is also left handed and plays the guitar left-handed as well.

He is known by fans as the nicest and most sincere member of the New York five-piece. He used to be into jazz music when he was recruited by The Bravery. Upon joining, the alternative-techno sound was strange for him, but he soon developed a passion for the genre. He also enlisted Michael "Dirt" Hindert as bassist. He plays a Fender Jazzmaster and a Gibson Les Paul Custom.

Zakarin attended The George Washington University where he was a member of the Lambda chapter of the Phi Sigma Kappa social fraternity along with stand-up comedian and actor T.J. Miller.
