Mike Mogis is an American producer/mixer/engineer and multi-instrumentalist who owns ARC Studios (Another Recording Company) in downtown Omaha. Mike, along with his brother A.J. Mogis, founded Presto! Recording Studios (previously known as Dead Space Recording and, earlier, Whoopass Recording).

Mogis has produced, mixed, engineered and performed on many of the releases on Saddle Creek, the label he co-founded, including records by Bright Eyes, The Faint, Rilo Kiley, Cursive, The Good Life, Lullaby for the Working Class, Jenny Lewis and Tilly and the Wall.

He is a permanent member of Bright Eyes and was also a member of both Lullaby for the Working Class and We'd Rather Be Flying, generally playing guitar, although he also plays mandolin, banjo, pedal steel, glockenspiel, and hammered dulcimer, among other instruments. He is also a member of the supergroup Monsters of Folk.

In 2014, Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott, also of Bright Eyes, composed the soundtrack for The Fault in Our Stars, based on the novel of the same name by John Green.

In 2017, Mike Mogis mixed Stranger In The Alps by Phoebe Bridgers and in 2020 mixed the Grammy nominated LP Punisher. In 2023, Mike mixed the Grammy winning LP The Record by boygenius as well as the EP The Rest.
