Barry McCambridge (born 1998) is a Gaelic footballer who plays for the Clann Éireann club and at senior level for the Armagh county team. McCambridge scored a goal against Kerry in the 2024 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Semi-Final, to send his team through to a first final for 21 years.[1] Before that he scored a goal in the Quarter-Final against Roscommon. McCambridge is a versatile player, whether across the full-back line or at wing-back, where his scoring and "robust tackling" came to the fore during the 2024 run.[2] He also played handball at a juvenile level.[3]

The Sunday Game gave McCambridge its Footballer of the Year award for 2024.[4] He won an All Star at the end of the 2024 season.[5]
