Michelle Turk (born 23 September 1967) is an Australian former professional tennis player.
Turk, who comes from the Illawarra region of New South Wales, was one of the country's top junior players, training at the AIS in Canberra.[1]
In 1985 she made the junior singles quarter-finals of the Australian Open and featured in the women's doubles main draw, where she and partner Louise Field were beaten in the first round by number one seeds Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver.
