Count Michał Tyszkiewicz (4 December 1828, in Wołożyn – 18 November 1897, in Rome) was a Polish nobleman, collector of antiquities and Egyptologist. He was a member of the Polish Tyszkiewicz family.

He first excavated at Luxor in 1861–1862 and revisited Egypt in 1867–1868, building up a collection during his travels.

It is now split between different locations in Lithuania, Paris, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Boston, Rome, and the Tyszkiewicz Palace at Lahojsk, Belarus. A small part of it remains in Poland in the National Museum in Warsaw.[http://www.egiptologia.pl/epr_ebi.html Leszek Zinkow] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070818164439/http://www.egiptologia.pl/epr_ebi.html |date=2007-08-18 }}
