Allan McClory (11 November 1899 – 9 July 1983) was a Scottish footballer who played as a goalkeeper for Harthill Bluebell, Shotts United, Motherwell, Albion Rovers, Montrose and Brideville.[2][1][3] The vast majority of his career was spent with Motherwell; he was part of the team which won the club's only Scottish Football League title in 1931–32 (the pinnacle of eight consecutive seasons in which they finished in the top three), and played in two Scottish Cup finals – 1931[4] and 1933,[5] both lost to Celtic.

McClory represented Scotland three times[6] and the Scottish Football League XI twice.[7]
