Maurice Alfred McCanlis (17 June 1906 - 27 September 1991) was an English sportsman who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and represented England at rugby union.

McCanlis bowled right-arm medium pace and was noted for his out swinging deliveries to right-handers.^[1] Most of his first-class matches were with Oxford University and he captained them in the 1928 University Matches. He also played two matches for Surrey and one for Gloucestershire during his career.^[2]

He was capped twice for the England national rugby union team in the 1931 Five Nations Championship, appearing in their games against Ireland and Wales. He played mainly as a three-quarter and also represented Gloucester and Oxford.^[3]

In 1938 and 1940 he made a return to cricket with a couple of Ranji Trophy appearances for Rajputana while he was in India on a teaching job. From 1932 to 1966, McCanlis was a teacher at Cheltenham.
