Cuan Neil McCarthy (born March 24, 1929, Pietermaritzburg, Natal, died August 14, 2000, Johannesburg, Transvaal) was a South African cricketer who played in fifteen Tests from 1948 to 1951. One of five children born to Victor and Phyllis McCarthy, he grew up on "Glenaholm", a citrus and poultry farm just out of Pietermaritzburg, where his mother bred a famous line of Rhodesian Ridgeback dogs.

Cuan McCarthy was included in the national side for the first time at the age of 19. Opening the bowling for South Africa in his 15 Tests, spanning 1948 to 1951, he produced his best bowling figures in his debut Test against the touring English team on his home ground at Kingsmead.
