Archibald Kaye (1869 – unknown) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Glasgow Thistle and Burnley.

Kaye saved the possibly first penalty kick in history while at Burnley. During a friendly match between Burnley and Darwen at Turf Moor on 1 September 1890, the away side were awarded a penalty kick by the referee but it was saved by Kaye, who helped his team to record a 3–2 win.^[1]^[a]

Notes

^ In June 1890, the International Football Association Board added the penalty kick to the Laws of the Game, although penalty kicks were not officially adopted until the beginning of the 1891–92 season.^[2]^[3]
