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.[1]
His one Test match came at Manchester, where he replaced the injured Alby Roberts.[2] He took three wickets and scored 32 runs in two innings, but Roberts returned for the final Test of the three-match tour.
