Borislav Bisserov Mikhailov (or Mihaylov) ( ) (born 12 February 1963) is a former Bulgarian football goalkeeper. He was captain of the Bulgaria national team during their surprising fourth-place run at the 1994 FIFA World Cup, as well their participation in Euro 96. He also played at the 1986 FIFA World Cup and is currently the all-time appearance leader for the Bulgaria national team with 102 caps (60 as captain). He played for teams like Belenenses, in Portugal, and Mulhouse, in France.

In 1995 he joined the then-English First Division team Reading for a then club record £800,000, replacing the departed club favourite Shaka Hislop. Apparently, he joined Reading after seeing the team play at Wembley in the 1995 First Division Playoff Final between Reading and Bolton Wanderers, believing the 80,000 capacity stadium to be Reading's home ground. However his time at the club was marked by a series of injuries, and his club career in England never took off.

After retiring from active sports he started a career in football administration. He was vice-president of the Bulgarian Football Union from 2001 until 2005, when he replaced Ivan Slavkov as president.

In 1998 he married Maria Petrova, a former prominent rhythmic gymnast. Mikhailov is also the father of ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Nikolay Mikhailov, who is currently at Dutch side FC Twente.
