Ryan Fraser (born 24 February 1994) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a left winger for Premier League club Southampton and the Scotland national team.

[5] Fraser made a significant impression in the Aberdeen first team during the early part of the 2012–13 Scottish Premier League season, winning the Young Player of the Month award for September and October 2012.

[6] Aberdeen manager Craig Brown expressed concerns at this time that opposing teams were targeting Fraser with tough tackling.

[14] With his contract due to expire on 30 June 2020, Fraser rejected the offer of a short-term extension to play the rest of Bournemouth's matches in the 2019–20 season, which was interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, as he did not want to risk injury.

[19] After Steve Bruce was sacked by the club, and replaced by Eddie Howe, Fraser garnered increased playing time in the second half of the 2021–22 season, helping Newcastle to avoid relegation with an 11th placed finish.

[22] One day later, he made his debut for the club in a 2–1 victory against Queens Park Rangers, coming on as a substitute for Sam Amo-Ameyaw in the 56th minute.

[25] During a 3–2 defeat against Leicester City on 19 October 2024, he received a red card for a foul on Jamie Vardy after referee Anthony Taylor reviewed the pitchside monitor.

[29] In March 2019, Fraser missed a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying match against Kazakhstan due to the Kazakhs using an artificial playing surface.

[34] He had previously been utilised in a central midfield role for Newcastle, but has most recently been played by manager Eddie Howe as a winger on the right flank, in a 4-3-3 formation.
