Mikel Artetxe Guezuraga (born September 24, 1976 in Larrabetzu, Basque Country) is a Spanish professional road bicycle racer for the Professional Continental team Fuerteventura-Canarias. He turned professional in 1999 with Euskaltel-Euskadi, where he stayed for seven seasons. In his time with Euskaltel-Euskadi, Artetxe took two stages and the overall victory in GP Jornal de Noticias in 2000, a stage victory in the 2001 Vuelta a Andalucía and a stage victory in the 2002 Trofeu Joaquim Agostinho.
At the start of the 2006 season, Artetxe moved a division down to the newly formed 3 Molinos Resort team. Here he has had the biggest wins of his career so far, with a stage win in the Vuelta Asturias and the Metas Volantes competition in Trofeu Joaquim Agostinho. With the rapid demise of 3 Molinos Resort, Artetxe moved to the newly formed Fuerteventura-Canarias team.
