Michael Anthony Bloch (born 24 September 1953) is an author and historian.^[1]

Educated at Portadown College and St John's College, Cambridge,^[2] he was called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1978 and in 1979 became an assistant to Maître Suzanne Blum, the Parisian lawyer of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.^[3]

Bloch's books include several about the Duke and Duchess, an authorized biography of James Lees-Milne, a study of the Liberal leader Jeremy Thorpe,^[3] and a biography of Frederick Matthias Alexander, founder of the Alexander Technique.^[4] Bloch was once the lover of Lees-Milne, writing in 2009: "I thought he was quite simply the most wonderful person I had ever met".^[5] In a review, it was noted that Bloch in his biography of Lees-Milne had a "laudable objectivity" about him, despite being one of his "most loyal and long-term late-in-life amours".^[5]
