'''Archibald George McCormick''' (23 February 1899 – 8 February 1969) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A hooker, McCormick represented {{Rut|Canterbury}} and Ashburton County at a provincial level. After playing two games for Canterbury in 1924, McCormick was selected for the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, on their 1925 tour of New South Wales but, as one of three hookers in the touring party, only played in one match. He did not appear in any Test matches.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/Profile.asp?ABID=555 |title = Archie McCormick | last = Knight | first = Lindsay | publisher = New Zealand Rugby Union | accessdate = 7 February 2016}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite book|title = The Encyclopedia of New Zealand Rugby|last = Chester|first = Rod|publisher = Moa Publications|year = 1987|isbn = 0-908570-16-3|location = Auckland, New Zealand|pages = 103, 104|last2 = McMillan|first2 = Neville|last3 = Palenski|first3 = Ron}}</ref>
