Reginald Patrick MacGillicuddy (24 July 1891 – 26 January 1922) was an Australian rules footballer who played with University in the Victorian Football League in 1911.[1]

Reg MacGillicuddy was the son of Irish-catholic parents, Dr Daniel Florance MacGillicuddy and Mary Anne Meaney, who lived in Richmond, in Melbourne's inner east. He attended Xavier College where he excelled at rowing, cricket and football.[2] He studied medicine at the University of Melbourne and while in his first year he made two VFL appearances with the University team.

He enlisted in World War I and served as captain in the AAMC Hospital Transport Corps at Suez Canal in 1917–18 but was discharged due to chronic cough.[3] Upon his return from war he married stage performer Goodie Reeve and moved to Brisbane, but died in 1922, aged 30.[4]
