Michael J. Karels (August 2, 1956 to June 2, 2024) was an American software engineer and one of the key figures in the history of BSD UNIX. He earned a graduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, and in 1993 the USENIX Association gave a Lifetime Achievement Award to the Computer Systems Research Group at Berkeley, honoring 180 individuals including Karels who contributed to the 4.4BSD-Lite release. In February 1992 he moved to Berkeley Software Design and designed BSD/OS, for years the only commercially available BSD style Unix on Intel platforms. After BSDi's software assets were bought by Wind River in April 2001 he joined Wind River as Principal Technologist for the BSD/OS platform.
