Michael John Bergin, (born March 18, 1969 in Waterbury, Connecticut), is considered to be one of the first males to have achieved supermodel status.

Michael is perhaps best known for his racy series of black and white underwear ads for Calvin Klein. His 6' 1" frame and washboard abs (widely cited as his professional signature) gained international exposure in print ads and, notably, on a 96' X 70' billboard in New York City's Times Square.

Bergin has walked the runways of New York City, Paris and Milan for Sonia Rykiel, Valentino, Calvin Klein, Gianfranco Ferre, Giorgio Armani, Yves Saint Laurent and Donna Karan and was the exclusive model for Claiborne for Men, a division of Liz Claiborne, Inc., for over three years. He has also appeared in commercials and print advertisements for Kellogg's, Bacardi Rum, L'Oréal, Maybelline, Coty, Valentino, Perry Ellis, and Liz Claiborne. Bergin is represented by Wilhelmina Models in New York City, and New York Model Management.

Bergin, who is straight, is popular in the gay community due to his willingness to take on gay roles, to interact with the gay press, and to work with AIDS charities. He has built a loyal base of gay fans by his willingness to not shy away from their community.
