Albert McInroy (23 April 1901 – 7 January 1985) was an English professional football goalkeeper who played his club football for Sunderland, Newcastle United and Leeds United. He helped Newcastle win the FA Cup in 1932 and made one appearance for England in 1926.
McInroy was born in Walton-le-Dale, near Preston, Lancashire and played as a left-winger as a youth for various teams in Lancashire, including a spell with Preston North End as an amateur.
He began his professional career, by now playing as a goalkeeper, with Sunderland in May 1923. His debut came on 29 September 1923 in a 5–2 victory over Manchester City. Sunderland finished the season in third place in the First Division table. In the following season, McInroy missed only one game and his agility and intelligent football mind made him a first team regular, as he went on to make over 200 appearances for Sunderland over six years.
He made his solitary England appearance at Anfield on 20 October 1926 in a 3–3 draw with Northern Ireland. His Sunderland team-mate Warney Cresswell played in front of him at right back.
