Nathaniel "Tiny" Archibald (born September 2, 1948 in New York City) is a former professional basketball player. He is 6' 1" (1.85 m).

He first played basketball at Dewitt Clinton High School from [[1963 to 1966. He was named team captain in 1966.

He then went to college first to Arizona Western College and then transfered to the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) where he had three great seasons there from1967 to 1970.

He was drafted in the second round of the 1970 NBA Draft by the Cincinnati Royals.

Archibald was a penetrator supreme, a pinpoint passer and an outside shoter with great range. "Tiny's" quickness and swooping passes made him difficult to guard in the open court, and he was a potent triple threat with his penetration, passing and shooting.

Archibald led the NBA in free throws made 3 times and free throw attempts 2 times. He competed in 876 professional games, scored 16,841 points (18.8 points per game), dished out 6,476 assists, was an all-NBA selection 3 times (1973, 1975, 1976). An All-NBA selection 2 times (1972, 1981). A 7-time NAB All-Star Game selection (1973, 1974, 1975 , 1976, 1980, 1981, and 1982), he was named the 1981 NBA All-Star Game MVP.

He won his first and only NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in the 1980-1981 season alongside NBA star Larry Bird.
