Michal Feinblat (Hebrew: מיכל פיינבלט; born August 26, 1984 in Bnei Brak) is an Israeli judoka who competed in the women's half-lightweight category. She held five Israeli senior titles in her division between 2000 and 2004, picked up a total of eleven medals in her career, and represented her nation Israel in the 52-kg class at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
Feinblat qualified as a lone female judoka for the Israeli squad in the women's half-lightweight class (52 kg) at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, based on her ranking in the European top 5 under her respective category from the International Judo Federation. She received a bye in the first round, but lost her opening match to Portugal's Telma Monteiro, who scored an ippon victory and threw her down the tatami with a kuchiki taoshi (single leg takedown) assault at three minutes and forty-three seconds.
