Michelle Jenny Betos (born February 20, 1988) is an American professional soccer player who plays as a goalkeeper for NJ/NY Gotham FC of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). She is perhaps best known for being the first NWSL goalkeeper to score a goal in league play.
Betos played collegiate soccer at the University of Georgia and signed her first pro contract with the USL W-League Atlanta Silverbacks in 2009. Prior to the founding of the NWSL, she played for Club Atlético River Plate, Apollon Limassol, and WPSL Elite teams Boston Aztec and New York Fury. She signed with Seattle Reign FC ahead of the NWSL's first season, starting in seven league matches while Hope Solo recovered from a wrist injury.
Following a trade to the Portland Thorns in 2014 and a loan spell at Fortuna Hjorring, Betos had her breakout campaign during the 2015 season, replacing Nadine Angerer as first-choice keeper to start 14 games for the Thorns, and winning the NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year award. In 2016, she won the NWSL Shield with the Thorns. After a further loan to Sydney FC, and a season at Vålerenga, she returned to the NWSL for a further two seasons at the Reign during which she made 12 starts.
Betos was selected by Racing Louisville in the 2020 NWSL Expansion Draft and went on to captain the team during their inaugural season, starting in 20 league games. She signed for Gotham FC in January 2022 and went on to win the 2023 NWSL Championship with the team.
