Michael P. Jensen is an Australian author, lecturer and Anglican priest. He is currently the rector of St Mark's Anglican Church, Darling Point, formally a professor of theology at Moore College, Sydney and a son of the former archbishop of Sydney, Peter Jensen. Jensen is a prolific commentator in both religious and secular forums on a range of topics. For example, recently Jensen responded to columnist Peter FitzSimons' criticism of Mormon Rugby player Will Hopoate.
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 May 18, 2015.
