Cresswell William 'Mickey' Crisp (12 May 1908 – 15 April 2001) was an Australian rules footballer who debuted with Carlton in the VFL in the 1931 season after winning the 1930 Bendigo Football League's inaugural best and fairest award, the Fred Wood Medal, with Sandhurst.[1]

He was a premiership player in 1938 and regular Victorian interstate representative.

Crisp played most of his career as a centreman but started in the forward line, kicking a career-high 53 goals in 1932. He won the inaugural Carlton best and fairest award in 1934, topping the club's goalkicking in the same season. He won the award again in 1938.
