Abram Combe (16 July 1852 — 20 August 1917) was an Irish international rugby union player.

Combe was born in Belfast, to a Scottish father, and attended Royal Belfast Academical Institution.[1]

A foundation player for Belfast's North of Ireland club, Combe was capped once for Ireland, as a forward in their first ever international against England at The Oval in 1875.[2]

Combe became an engineer like his father and was partner in the textile firm Combe Barbour & Combe Ltd.[3]
