Terry McAulay is an American football official in the National Football League (NFL) since the 1998 NFL season, and Coordinator of Football Officials for the American Athletic Conference since 2008, when the conference was known as the Big East Conference.

McAulay is most notable for working six conference championship games as referee since 2001, and three Super Bowls: Super Bowl XXXIX, Super Bowl XLIII, and Super Bowl XLVIII.

For the 2016 NFL season, McAulay's officiating crew consists of umpire Undrey Wash, head linesman Jerry Bergman, line judge Tom Stephan, field judge Rick Patterson, side judge Jonah Monroe, and back judge Rich Martinez.

Raised in Hammond, Louisiana, McAulay is a graduate of Louisiana State University with a degree in computer science. Beginning in 1982, McAulay was a software programmer for the National Security Agency. He retired in 2008.

McAulay's football officiating career began in 1976, including many years at the high school level in Howard County, Maryland. Prior to joining the NFL, McAulay was a referee in the Atlantic Coast Conference from 1994 to 1997, and was the referee for the BCS National Championship Game at the Miami Orange Bowl in 1998.

McAulay began his NFL officiating career in 1998 as a side judge on Walt Coleman's crew and worked the 2000 NFC Championship game, which was his last game at that position before he became a referee for the 2001 NFL season. He wears uniform number 77. Coincidentally, McAulay wears the same number and originally worked at the same position that was vacated by Mike Pereira, who served as the NFL's Vice President of Officiating from 2001 until February 2010.
