Lawrence "Larry" Cribbin (1880 – 15 October 1962) was an Irish Gaelic footballer who played as a goalkeeper for the Kildare senior team.[1]

Regarded as one of Kildare's greatest-ever players, Cribbin made his first appearance for the team during the 1901 championship and was a regular member of the starting fifteen until his retirement after the 1920 championship. During that time he won two All-Ireland medals and three Leinster medals. Cribbin was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.

At club level Cribbin enjoyed a hugely successful career with Clane, winning fourteen county club championship medals in both hurling and football.
