Norman Gallichan (born 3 June 1906 in Palmerston North and died at Taupo on 25 March 1969) was a cricketer who played for Wellington and New Zealand.

A tall slow left-arm bowler and lower-order batsman, Gallichan played most of his cricket for Manawatu in the second-class Hawke Cup competition, appearing irregularly for Wellington. He was a late selection for the 1937 New Zealand tour of England and did well in the early games, but was reckoned by Wisden to have been inconsistent.

His one Test match came at Manchester, where he replaced the injured Albert Roberts. He took three wickets and scored 32 runs in two innings, but Roberts returned for the final Test of the three-match tour.
