  • Richmond Leading Goalkicker 1910, 1911

Michael 'Mick' Maguire (6 June 1894 – 1950) was an Australian rules footballer who played for the Richmond Football Club in the VFL from 1910 to Round 8 of the 1912 season, then played for the Melbourne Football Club for the rest of 1912 to 1914. Finally he played for the Collingwood Football Club in 1918.

He holds the record as the youngest player to have played senior football at Richmond, being only 15 years and 328 days old upon debut in Round 1 of the 1910 season.[1] Despite this, he was the club's leading goalkicker in his debut year. He also gained fame as a welterweight boxer.

Two daughters married members of the English nobility and Mary Maguire was briefly a Hollywood and British film actress in the late 1930s. Maguire served in the British Army in World War Two and died in England in 1950.[2]
