Michael "Fancy" O'Neil (Approx. 1853 – After 1874), was an Irish professional baseball player whose career in the National Association consisted of one game for the 1874 Hartford Dark Blues. The game took place on October 23, 1874 when he played all nine innings in right field in a 13–1 loss to the Boston Red Stockings. Peter Morris, a member of SABR, claims that O'Neil's nickname of "Fancy" is from his time as a boxer, as well as that he was born in Ireland to parents Michael and Sarah. He grew up in New York and Hartford, Connecticut, exact birth and death information is difficult to ascertain as O'Neil did not have a fixed occupation or address, as well as trouble with the law.
