Blair Spittal (born 19 December 1995) is a Scottish footballer who plays for Dundee United in the Scottish Championship as a midfielder. He began his career at Queen's Park before joining Dundee United in 2014.
Spittal began playing for Erskine Boys Club and from there moved to Rangers. He spent two years there before joining Queen's Park's under-17 side. He attended Park Mains High School in Erskine.
Aged 16, Spittal made his Queen's Park debut away to Montrose on 17 November 2012. He went on to make a total of 18 appearances that season, scoring his only goal in a 5–3 win away to Elgin.
The following season he established himself as a first team regular, making 41 appearances and scoring 12 goals in the process. This form saw him pursued by both of Dundee's Scottish Premiership clubs. Having agreed terms with both sides, he opted to join former Queen's Park team-mates Aidan Connolly and Andrew Robertson at Dundee United, over city rivals Dundee.
Having spent the first two games of the season as an unused substitute, Spittal made his debut from the bench in the club's third game of the season away to Celtic on 16 August 2014.
