Stanley "Stan" McEwan (born 8 June 1957) is a Scottish former professional footballer. He spent eight years at Blackpool in the 1970s and 1980s, making over 200 Football League appearances for the club. He also played for four other professional clubs in his career. His position was as a defender.
Newmains-born McEwan made his debut for Harry Potts' Blackpool midway through the 1975–76 season, in a single-goal victory over Leyton Orient at Bloomfield Road on 12 December 1975. He went on to make sixteen further appearances in the league that season, as well as two in the FA Cup.
In 1976–77, under new manager, compatriot Allan Brown, McEwan made eleven league appearances; however, the following season, 1977–78, he was given an extended run in the team, making 39 league appearances. He also scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–2 draw at Crystal Palace on 25 April.
McEwan was ever-present in Blackpool's 53 league and cup games in 1978–79, under Bob Stokoe, his third manager in his time at the club. He scored five league goals (four from the penalty spot), including two in a 5–0 home victory over Shrewsbury Town on 20 March. He also scored one penalty in the FA Cup and two goals (one a penalty) in the League Cup.
