'''Adrian James Archibald''' (born 1969) is a motorcycle racer from Northern Ireland.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140111211356/http://www.realroadracing.com/features/10mins/020/10mins.php Interview on realroadracing.com website]</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.iomguide.com/races/database/rider-page.php?rider=350 |title=Profile at Isle of Man Guide |access-date=4 June 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041104195311/http://www.iomguide.com/races/database/rider-page.php?rider=350 |archive-date=4 November 2004 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

Archibald, who was born in [[Ballymoney]], has three career wins in the [[Isle of Man TT]], including two races in 2003 riding for [[TAS Racing|TAS Suzuki]]. The 2003 races were overshadowed by the death of Archibald's team-mate, [[David Jefferies]]. Archibald left the TAS team at the end of 2005 to move to [[AIM Racing]] [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] for the 2006 season, but when [[Ryan Farquhar]] was injured at the [[Cookstown 100]] races at the end of April, he rejoined the TAS Suzuki team, after the [[North West 200]] races. He remained with TAS in 2007, and rode with his own AMA Racing Team for 2008–10.

Archibald has also had four wins in the [[Ulster Grand Prix]].<ref>[http://www.ulstergrandprix.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=169&Itemid=142 Profile on Ulster Grand Prix site]</ref>
