Fergus Wallace (born 2 February 1965) is a Scottish former rugby union player for Glasgow Rugby, now known as Glasgow Warriors. He played as a flanker.
Wallace's playing career straddled the amateur and professional era.
He began his club career with Clarkston before moving on to Glasgow High Kelvinside, Boroughmuir, Hamilton and Glasgow Hawks.
He captained the amateur Glasgow District in season 1989-90 when they famously won the Scottish Inter-District Championship that season, and were unbeaten the entire season, also beating the touring Fiji international side. He captained the Glasgow District side for 6 years.
He played for the professional Glasgow side in the Heineken Cup in 1997-98. Glasgow got to the European Cup's quarter-finals that year; which remains the Glasgow Warriors best performance in that competition.
Fergus narrowly missed out on a full Scotland international cap. He has stated "Not getting a full cap was disappointing and I think I might have got in if they had selected the team differently in 1994. I was in the Scotland A side that beat South Africa at The Greenyards and had a good game, scoring our try, but strangely they had picked the Scotland team for the Test match before the A game." However he now jokes about this; he told the St. Andrews Sporting Club: "I was often compared to the Lions great, Willie John McBride. Yes, folk would say to me: 'Compared to Willie John McBride, you're rubbish!'"
Wallace did however get capped by Scotland A and Scotland Sevens and also captained a Scotland XV against Zimbabwe. He also played for a veteran British and Irish Lions side in 2001.
