Michael Gottlieb Birckner Bindesbøll (5 September 1800 – 14 July 1856) was a Danish architect active during the Danish Golden Age in the first half of the 19th century. Most known for his design of Thorvaldsens Museum in Copenhagen he was a key figure in the stylistic shift in Danish architecture from late classicism to Historicism. For Bindesbøll changing styles was the prelude to amusement and he juggled freely with older models. He was the father of Thorvald Bindesbøll.
