Mike Gribbon is a retired American soccer defender who spent two seasons in the North American Soccer League.

Gribbon attended Clemson University, playing on the men's soccer team from 1975 to 1979.[1] In 1979, the Tigers finished runner-up in the NCAA Men's Division I Soccer Championship. In 1980, the New England Tea Men selected Gribbon in the first round (second overall) of the American Soccer League draft.[2] He scored his only goal with the team in his first game and quickly became a regular on the back line.[3] In 1981, the team moved to Jacksonville, Florida and became the Jacksonville Tea Men. Gribbon played two games for the relocated Tea Men.
