Lawrence McFarlane "Lorne, Baldy" Northcott (September 7, 1908 in Calgary, Alberta – November 7, 1986) was a Canadian professional ice hockey left winger who played ten seasons in the National Hockey League for the Montreal Maroons and Chicago Black Hawks.
Northcott achieved all-star status in 1932–33 playing on a line with Jimmy Ward and Hooley Smith. In the 1934-35 Stanley Cup playoffs he scored the winning goal in two games, helping the Maroons win the Stanley Cup.
After the Maroons folded Northcott was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks where he would play his last game in the National Hockey league, retiring at the end of the 1938-39 season.
Northcott coached the Winnipeg Rangers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League for one season in 1940-41, leading them to the Memorial Cup Championship.
In his retirement Northcott operated an eponymously named sporting goods store in Winnipeg.
