Johnny McNicholl (born 24 September 1990) is a New Zealand rugby union player who plays as a Winger or fullback for the Scarlets regional side in the Pro12 league. He was a member of the Crusaders Wider Training Squad in 2012 and subsequently promoted to the senior squad for 2013.
McNicholl was a stand-out performer in the 2012 National Provincial Championship, heading the Top tryscorers list with 10, three ahead of his nearest rival. His consistent ability to cross the line drew interest from new Blues coach John Kirwan, but McNicholl, who plays his club rugby for Sydenham in the Christchurch Metro competition, opted to commit to the Crusaders.
