Michael S. Glick (born 3 April 1934; age 89) worked as a first assistant director on the first season of Star Trek: The Original Series, sharing duties with Gregg Peters. Glick worked on the even-numbered episodes, while Peters on the odd-numbered ones.

Glick is the son of Hyman Glick, a one-time executive of Republic Studios (a studio later succeeded by Paramount Pictures). He graduated in accounting at the University of California Berkeley, but soon found this career path unexciting. He found a job at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, working as an estimator at the studio production office. After gaining experience in various production areas, Glick was accepted into the assistant directors' training program where he worked on the shows Dr. Kildare, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and Mr. Novak.

Glick started his career as an Assistant Director on Seconds (1966, starring Salome Jens, featuring Jeff Corey, William Wintersole and music by Jerry Goldsmith). After Star Trek, he worked in this capacity on a number of television series (Cimarron Strip (1967-68) and Hawaii Five-O (1968-69)) and feature films.

He continued his career as a Unit Production Manager (UPM) and Production Manager. In these capacities, he worked on many films, including Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973, with Paul Williams, France Nuyen, David Gerrold, cinematography by Richard H. Kline and music by Leonard Rosenman), The Godfather Part II (1974, with Marianna Hill, John Megna and Richard Matheson), Echoes of the Summer (1976, with William Windom), The Domino Principle (1977, with Robert Herron and George Sawaya), A Chorus Line (1985, with Roxann Dawson), The Witches of Eastwick (1987, with Carel Struycken), Rocky V (1990) and Lolita (1997, with Frank Langella). He retired after working on Original Sin (2001, with Gregory Itzin).
