Malcolm Lee McBride (August 22, 1878 – December 21, 1941) was an American football player and coach. He played college football at Yale University as a halfback and fullback, and was selected as an All-American in 1898 and 1899. McBride was known for his skill as a left-footed kicker. One newspaper described his punts as follows:

"Malcolm McBride, who was a Yale fullback, was one of the stars of the kicking game in 1899. He sent a long, low punt that was exceedingly hard to handle. It usually struck the ground and bounded some distance before the backs could recover it."{{cite news|title=Great Kickers of Football|publisher=Nebraska State Journal|date=1908-12-13}}

After graduating as part of Yale's class of 1900, McBride returned as the school's head football coach in 1900.{{cite news|title=Yale Football Team At Work: First Line Up of the Season Gave Players Sharp Practice|work=The New York Times|date=1900-09-25|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1900/09/25/102613303.pdf }} McBride's chief adviser as Yale's coach was Walter Camp, and his assistants were Frank Hinkey and Frank Butterworth.{{cite news|title=McBride To Coach Yale|work=The New York Times|date=1900-08-13|url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1900/08/13/101063096.pdf }} McBride coached the 1900 Yale football team to a perfect 12–0 record.
