Bob McCammon (born April 14, 1941 in Kenora, Ontario) is a retired Canadian professional ice hockey player and a former NHL head coach and general manager. He never made it to the NHL, playing his entire career in the minor leagues. He had two stints as head coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and also served as the team's general manager during the latter stint. He was also the head coach of the Vancouver Canucks and an assistant coach for the Edmonton Oilers on two different occasions.

As coach of the Vancouver Canucks in 1989, McCammon's team was pursuing Russian hockey great Vladimir Krutov, a previously unrealistic move considering both the icy political climate and inability at the time for then- Soviet players to ply their trade outside of the USSR.
McCammon can't be faulted for paying closer scrutiny to San Jose considering its 3-1 lead in the series.
