Walter Henry McCredie (November 9, 1876 – July 29, 1934) was an American professional baseball outfielder and manager. McCredie played for the Brooklyn Superbas of the National League and managed in the minor leagues for 18 seasons, mostly for the Portland Beavers of the Pacific Coast League (PCL).

McCredie began his professional baseball career in 1897. He earned a law degree in 1900, intending to transition into a career as a lawyer, but chose to continue in baseball instead. He played for the Superbas for part of the 1903 season and joined Portland in 1904. He became their player-manager in 1905. McCredie managed Portland for 17 seasons and also managed the Salt Lake City Bees of the PCL for one season. He was posthumously inducted into the PCL Hall of Fame.
