Mike Matarazzo was a IFBB Pro bodybuilder.
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, he moved to Venice, California to further his bodybuilding career. Formerly a boxer, Mike Matarazzo first won the 1989 Gold's Gym Classic in Massachusetts. He competed for the first time in the Mr. Olympia contest in 1991.

Matarazzo's last appearance in a professional bodybuilding event was the 2001 Mr. Olympia, where he placed 21st. He was forced to retire due to having open heart surgery on 2004 as a result of clogged arteries. At the time of his death he was residing in Modesto, California, and was last reported to be working as a bail bondsman. He was forced to stop working due to limitations on physical activity related to his 20% heart function. In 2007, Mike suffered a heart attack, his second cardiac-related problem since his surgery in 2004. In 2014, he was in an intensive care unit due to heart complication.
