Michael Kuchmiak, C.Ss.R. (February 5, 1923 – August 26, 2008) was a bishop of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church and titular bishop of Agathopolis since 1988.

Kuchmiak was born in Obertyn, Ukraine. The Synod of Bishops of the Ukrainian Catholic Church and Pope John Paul II appointed Kuchmiak as auxiliary bishop of the Ukrainian Catholic Archeparchy of Philadelphia on 8 March 1988.

He received his episcopal ordination on 27 April 1988, with Stephen Sulyk, Archeparch of Philadelphia, as his principal consecrator and Maxim Hermaniuk and Innocent Lotocky as co-consecrators. He remained pastor of the Ukrainian Catholic National Shrine of the Holy Family in Washington, D.C. until his appointment on 11 July 1989 as the Apostolic Exarch of the Apostolic Exarchate for Ukrainians in Great Britain.

On April 5, 2002, the Pope accepted the resignation of Apostolic Exarch Mykhailo Kuchmyak from the government in connection with his reaching the age of retirement. Kuchmiak died in 2008 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.
