Alexander McLintock (1853 – 17 May 1931) was a Scottish international footballer who initially played as a defender, but was used as a goalkeeper in the latter stages of his career.

He started his career with Vale of Leven and was a part of the side that won three successive Scottish Cup victories.

After his retirement from football in 1885, he owned a public house in Burnley before returning to Scotland to resume his original trade as a tinsmith.

[1] When he started alongside Alf Jones in a friendly against a Blackburn Select XI on 23 February 1885, it was the first time that two international footballers had appeared in the same Burnley line-up.

In the following match, a 4–4 draw with Preston North End, McLintock suffered a severe leg injury which prevented him from playing again for a considerable period of time.
