Robert McLean (9 June 1892 – 1970) was a Scottish footballer, born in Glasgow, who played as a left half for Alloa Athletic and Doncaster Rovers.

After the end of WW1, he played for Alloa Athletic, winning the Scottish Second Division Championship with them in the 1921–22 season.[2] He moved to Doncaster Rovers, then in the Midland League, from Alloa in 1922. He was a constant feature in the line up for his first four seasons, but then his presence tailed off. For a time he wore the skippers armband.[3] In all competitions he made 196 appearances for Doncaster, scoring 4 times.

Following his last game for Doncaster on 16 September 1929 at Halifax,[4] he moved to Waterford Celtic, a side in turmoil at the time and who wound up at the end of that season.[5]

Some time later, McClean was appointed trainer and groundsman at Doncaster from the beginning of the 1943−44 season.[4] He died in 1970.
