Gavin Thomson McKiddie (born 17 May 1940) is a Scottish former first-class cricketer.

McKiddie was born in May 1940 at Forfar, where he was educated at Forfar Academy. A club cricketer for Strathmore Cricket Club,[1] McKiddie made a single appearance for Scotland in first-class cricket against Ireland at Dublin in 1977;[2] he had been called up to the Scotland squad as a last minute injury replacement for the Scottish captain George Goddard.[1] Batting twice in the match at the tail, he was dismissed for 8 runs in the Scottish first innings by John Elder, while in their second innings he was dismissed for 2 runs by the same bowler. He took two wickets with his off break bowling, dismissing Irish captain Alec O'Riordan in their first innings and Dermott Monteith in their second innings.[3] Outside of cricket, McKiddie was a quantity surveyor.
