Michael Ludwig Hariyanto Arbi (born 21 January 1972) is a former badminton player from Indonesia who rated among the world's top few singles players in the 1990s. He is the younger brother of Eddy Hartono and Hastomo, who were also world class badminton players.

Career The hard smashing Arbi was arguably the most internationally successful of an cadre of Indonesian singles players who were his contemporaries. These included Ardy Wiranata, Joko Suprianto, Alan Budikusuma, Hermawan Susanto, and Hendrawan. He never won the open singles title of Indonesia which Wiranata dominated in the nineties. This and an Olympic medal were the only prizes that eluded him after he was eliminated in the bronze medal match in 1996. He won the All England Open singles title in 1993 and 1994, and the then biennial IBF World Championship in 1995. Arbi played singles for Indonesian teams that won consecutive Thomas Cup (world men's team) titles in 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2000.

Arbi's other individual victories included the Chinese Taipei Open (1993, 1994), Japan Open (1993, 1995), World Cup (1994), Hong Kong Open (1995), Korea Open (1995), Singapore Open (1997, 1999), SEA Games (1997) and the badminton competition at the quadrennial Asian Games (1994).
