Arthur McCabe (1871 – after 1896) was an English footballer who played as an outside left. Born in Sheffield, McCabe started his career with local side Heeley before spending time with Rotherham Town.^[1]

It was from Rotherham that his home town club Sheffield United signed him in July 1892.^[1] United were now a Football League side and McCabe was unable to break into the first team, spending the majority of his time at Bramall Lane playing in the reserves.^[1] His only competitive start for the Blades came in a Northern League fixture in January 1893, but despite this he remained with the club until July 1895.^[1]

United allowed McCabe to return to Rotherham Town, for whom he made 18 league appearances before joining Manchester City in January 1896.^[1] His time with Manchester City was unsuccessful and he made only one further league appearance for the Lancashire club before joining Ilkeston Town the following summer.^[1]
