Mike Kelley (born December 31, 1959) is a former professional quarterback. He played for the Tampa Bay Bandits and Memphis Showboats in the United States Football League. After the USFL failed, he joined the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League as a replacement player during the 1987 strike. Eight years after his stint with the Chargers, he came out of retirement at age 35 to serve as backup quarterback on the Memphis Mad Dogs, a Canadian Football League team that was assembling itself on whatever remnants of the Showboats they could find. He played collegiately for the Georgia Tech football team. He was inducted into the Georgia Tech Hall of Fame in 1992.
