Norman Bullock (8 September 1900  – 22 October 1970) was an English professional footballer, who played as both a forward and a defender, and manager.

He began his career playing local amateur football before signing for Bury in 1920. In 15 years with the club, he set new club records for both appearances and goals, scoring 125 league goals in over 500 appearances. During his career he also represented England at international level, scoring twice.

After retiring from playing in 1935, he was appointed manager of Bury and remained in the role until 1938 when he left to manage Chesterfield. He returned to manage Bury for a second spell between 1945 and 1949 before leaving again to join Leicester City. He won promotion to the First Division with Leicester in 1954 but resigned the following season with the club in the relegation zone.
