**Michael Scudamore** (17 July 1932 – 7 July 2014) was an English [National Hunt racing](/source/National_Hunt_racing) jockey in the 1950s and 1960s. He rode in 16 consecutive [Grand Nationals](/source/Grand_National), with one win on [Oxo](/source/Oxo_(horse)) in 1959. He also rode Linwell, the winner of the 1957 Gold Cup.

His riding career ended in 1966, due to serious injuries from a fall on a chance ride on Snakestone at [Wolverhampton](/source/Wolverhampton_Racecourse) where he sustained multiple fractures, a collapsed lung and over 90% vision loss in one eye.[1] Scudamore then continued as a trainer.

He was the father of [Peter Scudamore](/source/Peter_Scudamore) and the grandfather of [Tom Scudamore](/source/Tom_Scudamore).[2]
