Maurice Rhynd Dickson (born 2 January 1882 – 10 January 1940) was a Scottish sportsman who represented his country in both cricket and rugby union.

In all but two of Dickson's 13 first-class appearances for Scotland, he was captain. He made his first-class debut against Joe Darling's Australian team in 1905 and scored an unbeaten 62 in the fourth innings. A right-handed batsman, he held on in the dying overs with number eleven Frederick Bull to secure a draw.^[1]

The following year he had another good performance against a touring team, this time the West Indies, with contributions of 36 and 81.^[2]

When Australia played Scotland at Edinburgh again in 1912, Dickson made his highest score of 98, missing out on a century when he was bowled by Roy Minnett. On this occasion, Australia won by 296 runs.^[3]

He took only one wicket in his career, which was Irish batsman Bob Lambert.^[4]

Dickson was capped just once for the Scotland national rugby union team, when he appeared as a forward in a six point loss to Ireland at Inverleith during the 1905 Home Nations Championship.^[5]
