Duncan McLean (20 January 1868 – 17 November 1941)[1] was a Scottish footballer who played for Renton, Everton, Liverpool, St Bernard's and Scotland in the latter years of the 19th century.

A summer of off the field turmoil followed in which directors, staff and players alike were forced to choose sides in a rent dispute over Anfield Road, which saw the club literally split in two.

Everton moved out, along with the vast majority of their players, staff and officials, but McLean was one of only two first-teamers who chose to stay and help form the new club, Liverpool.

His fortunes, along with Liverpool's, took a downward dip as the Reds were relegated straight back down to the lower tier at the end of the 1894–95 season.

His debut came on 21 March 1896 against Wales in a British Championship match at Carolina Port, Dundee, which Scotland won 4–0.
