Pembroke St Michael is the name of an electoral ward in the town of Pembroke, Pembrokeshire, Wales. It covers the east area of the town.
The ward currently elects a county councillor to Pembrokeshire County Council and three town councillors to Pembroke Town Council. Prior to local government reorganisation in 1995, the ward elected two councillors to South Pembrokeshire District Council and an electoral division with the same name covering a slightly larger area elected one county councillor to Dyfed County Council.
According to the 2011 UK Census the population of the ward was 2,408.
A boundary review took place in 2019, where it was noted that the number of eligible voters was 32% above the average for an electoral ward in Pembrokeshire. As a result, it was recommended that part of the ward was transferred to the neighbouring St Mary South ward, reducing the number of electors by 531. These changes came into effect in 2021.
