Édouard Michelin (August 13, 1963 - May 26, 2006) was managing partner and co-chief executive of the Michelin Group.

Michelin was the great-grandson of Édouard Michelin (1859-1940), a co-founder of the company. An engineering graduate of the École Centrale de Paris, he joined the Michelin Group, which was then headed by his father, François Michelin, in 1985. He initially worked at the lower levels of the company, including a stint on an assembly line. In 1987-1988 he completed his military service on French nuclear submarines.

Michelin was appointed CEO of Michelin North America, in charge of both industrial plant and truck UOT sales and distribution, under the leadership of Carlos Ghosn, a future Renault Nissan CEO. Édouard Michelin died by drowning, while fishing in the Raz de Sein, near the island of Sein, off the coast of Finistère in northwest France, on May 26, 2006.
