Mike Schmidt is a fictional character most prominently featured in the video game Five Nights at Freddy's. He serves as the player character in the first installment, taking on the role of a newly hired night security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

Little is explicitly revealed about Mike's backstory within the game itself. Players assume control of him as he attempts to survive five (or more) nights while evading the restaurant's animatronic characters, which become active and hostile after midnight. He monitors security cameras and manages limited power to operate doors that can block the animatronics.

Though his motives for taking the job are unclear in the original game, later installments and supplementary materials hint at a deeper connection to the lore of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, particularly its dark past and the missing children incident. Some fan theories and even potential storylines within the game's universe suggest a possible familial link to one of the central figures in the series' overall narrative, though this remains largely speculative and has evolved with the franchise.
