Sir Archibald Howie (12 May 1879 – 26 October 1943) was a Scottish-born Australian politician.

He was born in Glasgow to mason Archibald Howie and Janet Ferguson. His family migrated to New South Wales in 1881, and Howie became a building contractor, eventually taking over his father's business. In 1912 he married Mary Manvelle, with whom he had a son. From 1934 to 1941 he was a member of Sydney City Council, and from 1934 to 1943 he was a United Australia Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Council. He was knighted in 1938. Howie died at Hunters Hill in 1943.
