Micha Danielle Hancock (born November 10, 1992) is an American indoor volleyball player for the United States women's national volleyball team. Hancock played setter for the Penn State women's volleyball team, and won back to back national championships in 2013 and 2014. Hancock won gold with the national team at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

In the 2016 Pan-American Cup she was awarded Best Server after she set a new serving record in a single match, first with 11 aces in the pool play against Costa Rica, then 12 aces in the bronze medal match over Cuba. She was named Most Valuable Player in the 2017 Pan-American Cup. She was selected to play the Italian League All-Star game in 2017.

In May 2021, Hancock was named to the 18-player roster for the FIVB Volleyball Nations League tournament. It was the only major international competition before the 2020 Summer Olympics. USA won the gold medal for the third year in a row after defeating Brazil in the final.

On June 7, 2021, US National Team head coach Karch Kiraly announced she would be part of the 12-player Olympic roster for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Primarily used as a backup setter and serving substitute, Hancock stepped in after starting setter Jordyn Poulter injured her ankle during USA's final pool play match against Italy, helping lead the team to victory in 5 sets. In the quarterfinals against Dominican Republic, Hancock started again and led her to team to victory, advancing USA to the semifinals. Team USA eventually won the gold medal after defeating Brazil, 3 sets to none.
