Michael Frost (b. 1961) is an internationally recognised Australian missiologist and one of the leading voices in the international missional church movement. His books are required reading in colleges and seminaries around the world and he is much sought after as an international conference speaker. Frost is the Vice Principal of Morling College and the founding Director of the Tinsley Institute, a mission study centre located at Morling College in Sydney, Australia.

He is the author or editor of twelve popular Christian books, the most recent of which are the highly successful and award-winning The Shaping of Things to Come (2003, co-authored with colleague Alan Hirsch), Exiles (2006) and Re:Jesus (2009). These books explore a missiological framework for the church in the postmodern era. Frost's books have been translated into German, Korean and Spanish. The popularity of Frost's books has led to regular speaking engagements at Christian conferences in Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and in various nations in Western and Eastern Europe, Africa and South America.

In 1998 Frost was one of the founders of the Forge Mission Training Network, based in Melbourne, and since 1999 Frost has been a member of the board of reference for Micah Challenge Australia, an agency that promotes the adoption of the UN Millennium Development Goals. In 2001 he founded the alternative Christian community, smallboatbigsea, based in Manly on Sydney's north shore. He has been the weekly religion columnist for The Manly Daily since 2002 and in 2007 he helped establish Action Against Poverty, a small, localised aid agency linking the cities of Manly and Manado, an impoverished Indonesian community. In 2010 he was instrumental in launching Street Pastors in Manly, the first time the English street chaplaincy program had been introduced to Australia.

Michael Frost (B.Th., M.A., D.Min., Dip.T., Adv.Dip.Th.) was ordained by the Baptist Union of NSW in 1990.
