Michael Patrick Redmond (born May 5, 1971 in Seattle, Washington) is a Major League Baseball catcher nicknamed "Goat man" and "Naked guy" by his avid Twins fans. He is currently the backup catcher and occasional designated hitter for the Minnesota Twins. Redmond bats and throws right-handed. He wears number 55.

Redmond graduated from Gonzaga Preparatory School (Washington) in 1989. He then went on to attend Gonzaga University. He has two sons with his wife, Michele (née Rowe).

Redmond made his Major League debut with the Florida Marlins on May 31, 1998. He played with the Marlins through the 2004 season (including their 2003 World Series championship) and signed a two-year contract with the Twins before the 2005 season. Redmond is known to Twins fans to have coined the term "Smell Those RBIs", referring to whenever a Twins player is credited with an RBI, a tap on the nose and a look to the dugout. He is also known as a very durable catcher. One example is during the second game of a doubleheader on July 6, 2007 when Redmond was hit in the head by the bat of Jim Thome who accidentally let go of his bat after his swing. Redmond received seven stitches, and was catching the next day. During this game, the Twins' other catcher, Joe Mauer was the designated hitter; therefore due to Redmond's injury, Twins pitcher Matt Garza became the first AL pitcher to bat in an AL game since 2000.
