Dick McCabe (born 15 June 1877) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy, St Kilda and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He used the pseudonym Dick McKay during his playing days and thus that is how his name appears in many football records.

From Essendon District, McCabe was a defender and was part of Fitzroy's inaugural VFL match in 1897. He spent another season at Fitzroy before crossing to St Kilda, which he captained in 1901. Finally, McCabe played for South Melbourne but finished his 148 game career without making a single finals appearance.

McKay was later a boundary umpire for the VFL and in 1918 officiated in a Junction Oval match as the field umpire, replacing Arthur Norden during the third quarter following an injury.
