Michael Jensen

Michael Peter Jensen (born 7 September 1970) is an Australian cleric, author and lecturer. He has been rector of the Anglican parish of St Mark's Church, Darling Point, since 2013; and was formerly a professor of theology at Moore College, Sydney. He is a son of the former archbishop of Sydney, the Most Reverend Peter Jensen.

On 6 May 2015, Jensen's book You: An Introduction (2008) was banned from state schools by the New South Wales Department of Education and Communities on the basis of a "potential risk to students in the delivery of this material, if not taught sensitively and in an age appropriate manner". The ban was lifted on 18 May 2015.

In September 2018, Jensen launched a podcast, called With All Due Respect, which he co-hosts with Megan Powell du Toit, a Baptist minister. The podcast was the first for Eternity News, an Australian Christian news site, for whom Jensen has also written many articles. The podcast has given rise to a wider project about conversation across difference, the WADR Project, which he and Powell du Toit co-direct. The project launched an online platform for articles called WADR Online. The podcast moved to the Undeceptions Network in 2022.
