David Norwood McKellar (born 22 May 1956) is a retired Scottish professional football goalkeeper and manager, best remembered for his time in the Football League with Carlisle United, making over 160 appearances for the club over two spells. In a long career, he played in all four divisions of the English league pyramid and the top three divisions in Scotland. McKellar later managed in Scottish non-league and junior football.
McKellar began his career in his native Scotland with junior clubs Saltcoats Victoria and Kilwinning Rangers, securing a move to English Division One side Ipswich Town in September 1972, managed by Bobby Robson. Among his youth teammates were future professionals George Burley, Robin Turner and Kevin Beattie. McKellar made 30 appearances for the reserve team over the next four years and failed to make a first team appearance. McKellar was also sent out on loan to lower division clubs Colchester United and Peterborough United, failing to appear for either. He departed Portman Road in May 1976, after suffering from homesickness.
McKellar returned to Scotland to sign for Scottish League Premier Division club Dundee United on 22 May 1976, his 20th birthday. He failed to make a first team appearance and departed the following year.
