Mike Darrow (January 8, 1933 – December 7, 1996) was a Canadian-American television game show host best known for hosting the 1968-1970 ABC run of "Dream House," the 1985-1988 Canadian-produced run of the Bob Stewart game show, "Jackpot" (seen in the U.S. on the USA Network), and "Club 6" from 1960-1962.

He also hosted the first season of the game show "The $128,000 Question," a syndicated revival of "The $64,000 Question," in 1976. Darrow's announcing work included the NBC game show "The Who, What, or Where Game" (1969-1974) and sub-announcing duties in 1980 for the Wink Martindale version of "Tic Tac Dough." He also hosted the game show "Bluff" in 1976 and "A Go Go '66" in 1966.

Darrow also worked as an on-air disc jockey in the early 1960s in Toronto at radio station CHUM. While there, he sang on two novelty recordings made as promotions for the station.
