Archibald Samuel "Archie" Dyke (September 1886 – c.1955) was an English footballer.
Dyke played for Chesterton, Newcastle Congregational, Newcastle P.S.A. and Stoke before joining Potteries derby rivals Port Vale in the summer of 1912. He made his debut in a 5-0 defeat at Stalybridge Celtic in a Central League match on 3 September 1912, but impressed enough to hold on to a first team spot. He lost his place in March 1913 and returned to Stoke that summer, he then moved on to Aston Villa. Whilst with Villa he guested for Vale during the war in 1916. He rejoined the club permanently in August 1919, but after being elected back into the Football League in October 1919 the club could not negotiate his transfer. He moved on to Stafford Rangers, Coventry City, Blackpool and Congleton Town.[2]
