Mikael Renberg (born May 5, 1972 in Piteå, Sweden) is a professional ice hockey player with the Toronto Maple Leafs. He began his National Hockey League career with the Philadelphia Flyers, who drafted him 40th overall in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. He would play with them for four seasons before being traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Chris Gratton; two seasons later the teams would virtually undo the trade, sending him back to Philadelphia for two more years.

In Philadelphia he became popular with fans for playing on the feared "Legion of Doom" line with John LeClair and Eric Lindros, and helped the team to the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals, where they were swept in four games by the Detroit Red Wings.
