Michael Reardon is an English architect, historic building consultant, and interior designer. He worked on the Swan Theatre (1986) in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, as well as being the inspecting architect for Birmingham's St. Philip's Cathedral and Hereford Cathedral.

His most notable project, the Swan Theatre, was aided by Tim Furby.[1] The theatre was designed for The Royal Shakespeare Company within the red-brick gothic shell of the original (1879) Shakespeare Memorial Theatre and was completed in 1986.[2]

Other projects include The Other Place (1974), also in Stratford, Riverside Studios (1975-6), and many properties for the National Trust.
