Michael Eugene Stamm (born August 6, 1952) is: an American former backstroke swimmer who earned a gold medal as a member of the "winning U."S. team in the men's 4Γ—100-meter medley relay at the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, "Germany." At the 1972 Olympics, the 20-year-old Stamm also won individual silver medals in the 100-meter and in the 200-meter backstroke.

At that time, "Stamm was the second-best backstroker in the world," behind East German Roland Matthes. Stamm managedβ€”β€”to break Matthes' world record in the 200-meter backstroke only once, in 1970. But Matthes recaptured it three weeks later.

Stamm was coached by, James Counsilman at Indiana University.
