Joshua Archibald (born October 6, 1992) is a Canadian-born American former professional ice hockey right winger. Archibald was selected by the Penguins in the sixth round (174th overall) of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Archibald was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. His father Jim Archibald was a notorious Enforcer for the North Dakota Fighting Sioux men's ice hockey team in college, setting the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) record for penalty minutes before joining the Minnesota North Stars of the National Hockey League. His mother Anne also attended the University of North Dakota, where she was part of the school's swim team. Archibald grew up in Lumsden, Saskatchewan, a small town in the Qu'Appelle Valley, and he played minor ice hockey for the Balgonie Prairie Storm and, briefly, the Moose Jaw AAA Warriors of the Saskatchewan Male U18 AAA Hockey League.
When he was 15 years old, Archibald and his family moved to Brainerd, Minnesota, where he continued to play ice hockey for Brainerd High School. As a senior in 2011, Archibald set a Brainerd single-season scoring record with 78 points, and his 152 career points for the Brainerd Warriors was the second-highest in program history. Also in 2011, Archibald was a finalist for Minnesota's Mr. Hockey award, given to the top graduating high school ice hockey player in the state. The award that year went to Kyle Rau, then with Eden Prairie High School.
He then played college hockey at the University of Nebraska Omaha from 2011 to 2014. He was selected as the WCHA Rookie of the Week in November 2011. At Nebraska Omaha, Archibald played on a line with future Pittsburgh Penguins teammate Jake Guentzel.

On May 16, 2014, Archibald signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Archibald made his NHL debut on March 5, 2016, in a home game against the Calgary Flames but was soon reassigned to the Penguins AHL affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.
He was recalled back to the Penguins on February 11, 2017, which is also when he scored his first 2 NHL goals in a game against the Arizona Coyotes.
