Michael Stutchbury (born 4 May 1957) is an Australian newspaper editor and journalist. He was previously the editor-in-chief of the Australian Financial Review and economics editor at The Australian.[1] He generally writes from a free market viewpoint, and was critical of a number of the Rudd-Gillard Government's economic policies, particularly on its stimulus packages,[2] and industrial relations.[citation needed]

Born in Melbourne, Stutchbury began his journalistic career with the Australian Financial Review.[1] Later, he became a business editor of The Australian, and a Washington correspondent during the first term of the Clinton Administration, before becoming one of the longest-serving editors of The Australian.

He is the father of 2018 NSW Young Liberals President, Harry Stutchbury.[3] In July 2018, Michael Stutchbury married Ticky Fullerton in the UK.[4]

He occasionally appears on Insiders, the ABC's weekly program on political discussion.

Stutchbury stepped down from his role as editor-in-chief of the Australian Financial Review in August 2024. He intends to return in a writing role at the publication as editor-at-large in 2025.[5]
