Wallace Carl Riddick Jr. (August 4, 1864 – June 9, 1942) was an American college football coach and university administrator.

Because of his advocacy on the students' behalf, Riddick was awarded with the Officer's Cross of the Order of St. Sava by King Alexander of Yugoslavia in 1931.

[2] Riddick served as the head football coach at Wake Forest University from 1888 to 1889, and at North Carolina College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, now North Carolina State University, from 1898 to 1899, compiling a career college football record of 5–7–2.

Riddick assumed the presidency at North Carolina State University following Daniel Harvey Hill Jr.'s resignation in 1917.

Riddick resigned as president in 1923 to become dean of the newly established school of engineering, and served in this capacity until his retirement in 1937.
