John McQuade (born 8 July 1970) is a Scottish former footballer. A midfielder, he scored 69 goals in 335 league games in a 15-year professional career in the Scottish and English leagues.
He began his career with Dumbarton in 1987, helping the club to the Second Division title in 1991–92, before winning a £80,000 move to Hamilton Academical in 1993. He helped the "Accies" to win promotion out of the Second Division in 1996–97. In June 1998, he was signed by English club Port Vale, before he returned to Scotland in April 1999 to sign with Raith Rovers. He moved on to Ross County in July 2000, before switching to Peterhead for a one-month spell in January 2002.
McQuade started his career with Dumbarton in 1987, just before the Boghead Park club suffered relegation out of the First Division in 1987–88 under the stewardship of Mark Clougherty and Bertie Auld. They fell down to 12th in 1988–89, with only Berwick Rangers and Stenhousemuir finishing lower in the Scottish Football League. The "Sons" rose to sixth in 1989–90 and seventh in 1990–91, before manager Billy Lamont led them to the Second Division title in 1991–92. They retained their second tier status with a ninth-place finish in 1992–93.
