Alexander "Sandy" MacFarlane (born 1878 – d. 19??) was a Scottish professional football player and manager.
A Scotland international inside-forward, he played domestically for Airdrie before moving south to join Woolwich Arsenal in 1896. He only made seven appearances for Arsenal, his debut coming against Grimsby Town on 28 November 1896, and returned to Airdrie the following year. His second move, south of the border, was more successful, joining Newcastle and becoming their first-choice inside-left. In four seasons in the north-east McFarlane made eighty-four First Division appearances, scoring seventeen goals in three consecutive top six finishes, as well as two FA Cup appearances.
He returned to Scotland to play for Dundee in 1901. During his twelve years there he won a Scottish Cup in 1909–10 and made five appearances for Scotland between 1904 and 1911, scoring once in a 5–0 victory over Ireland on 15 March 1909 in the British Home Championship. He moved to Chelsea in 1913, but only played sporadically and retired from playing in 1914.
MacFarlane returned to Dundee in 1919 and spent six years in charge of the club, during which time they reached another Scottish Cup final in 1924–25. That summer, Charlton Athletic tempted him to move south. In January 1928 he returned to Dundee, but only lasted seven months before returning to Charlton. In his first full season back at the club, he led Charlton to the 1928–29 Third Division South title.
