Brian McLaughlin (7 October 1954 – 13 August 2009) was a Scottish footballer who signed for Celtic from Linlithgow Rose before going on to play for Ayr United, Motherwell, Hamilton Academical and Falkirk. He signed for Hamilton Academical in January 1983 for a transfer fee of around £15,000 after having been made available for sale by his manager Jock Wallace. After his playing career ended, he was a member of St Mirren's coaching staff.

On 13 August 2009, McLaughlin was found dead in the Union Canal near Falkirk. Police said there did not appear to be any suspicious circumstances, and ruled his death accidental.
