Mike Hall (born 13 October, 1965 in Bridgend), is a former Welsh rugby union international, now property developer and part time rugby pundit.

Just before graduating from University of Cambridge, Hall commenced his international career on 28 May, 1988 against New Zealand in Christchurch aged 22. He made his final appearance on 4 June, 1995 in the 24-23 loss against Ireland in Johannesburg in the 1995 Rugby World Cup, where he was captain of the side. In 1989 Hall toured Australia with the British Lions.

On graduation, Hall had joined Cardiff based commercial property surveyors Cooke and Arkwright, and qualified as a surveyor in 1991. He left to start his own company Steepholm Property Advisors in 1994. In 2003 he became a director of PMG Developments plc, and in 2006 became involved in the development of a new stadium for Cardiff City F.C..
