Mykolas Tiškevičius (Polish: Michał Tyszkiewicz) (1828–1897) was a Lithuanian collector of antiques and amateur Egyptologist, member of the once very powerful Lithuanian noble family of Tyškevičiai.

He 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 cities in Lithuanian, 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.
