Jeffrey Epstein's got a loose connection to Michael Jackson ... the attorney who asked Epstein in a deposition if he had an oval-shaped unit tells us he was taking a cue from a famous MJ trial.

Spencer Kuvin, the lawyer who grilled Epstein in the infamous 2009 deposition, tells TMZ ... he got the idea to question Epstein about his alleged "egg-shaped penis" from the King of Pop's kid-sex trial.

He says the prosecutor in the MJ case wanted to enter into evidence graphic photos of splotches on Michael's penis so an alleged abuse victim could identify the skin discoloration known as vitiligo. MJ had originally submitted to having the graphic photos taken during a 1994 investigation into whether the pop star molested a boy.
