Robert Robertson McFarlane[1] (12 October 1913−1971) was a Scottish footballer who played as a wing half in the Football League for Doncaster Rovers.

Born in Bo'ness, Scotland, McFarlane played for Southern Football League club Margate in the 1935−36 season, including a 3rd Round FA Cup tie at Blackpool which was lost 3−1.[2] He was signed by Arsenal the next season but failed to make any appearances.[3]

For the 1937−38 season he moved to Division 3 North side Doncaster where he played in 145 League and cup games, scoring 6 times, before and after the war.[1] Doncaster won the league title in 1946−47 leading to a season in Division 2 for McFarlane, though he only appeared in 13 games[1] in what was an unsuccessful relegation season for the club.

From 1948−50, he played for Boston United in the Midland League.[4]

He died in Doncaster in 1971.[5]
