Carl S. Galbreath (April 15, 1927 – August 26, 2009) was an award-winning and all-star running back in the Ontario Rugby Football Union.

A graduate of North Carolina Central University, he was a star player in college, selected as an All-CIAA running back four years and a Little All-American twice.[1] He played one year of football in Canada, 1950, with the Toronto Balmy Beach Beachers of the ORFU and it was a successful one. His team won the league championship, he was an all-star, and he won the Imperial Oil Trophy as MVP in the ORFU.[2][3]

After his football days, Galbreath served with the Army in the Korean War, and later became a teacher and assistant principal. He was elected to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Hall of Fame in 1995.[4] He died on August 26, 2009.[5]
