Roderick Alexander "Roddy" Munro (27 July 1920 – July 1976) was a Scottish professional football full back who played for Brentford and Cambridge City. He is best remembered for his seven years in the Football League with Brentford, making over 200 appearances.
A full back, Munro began his career in Scotland as an amateur with Scottish Division One side Rangers, before the breakout of the Second World War in 1939 and the suspension of professional football brought a halt to his career.
A year after the end of the Second World War in 1945, Munro joined Brentford as an amateur, on the recommendation of Tom Manley, with whom he had served in the Middle East during the war. He played the final five games of the 1945–46 Football League South season. Munro signed a professional contract in the summer of 1946 and with the resumption of league football, he made his debut in a 5–2 Division One defeat to Aston Villa on 28 September 1946. He made 38 appearances in his debut season, which ended with the Bees suffering relegation to Division Two. Munro was a regular fixture in the team until the end of the 1952–53 season, when he departed Griffin Park. He made 211 appearances during his time with the Bees.
