Thomas "Tommy" McLean (born 2 June 1947, Larkhall, Lanarkshire) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played for Kilmarnock and Rangers.
McLean grew up in Ashgill, Lanarkshire, along with his elder brothers Jim and Willie, who would also become successful players and managers.

He joined Rangers in 1971 for £65,000 and was involved in the clubs famous 1972 Cup Winners Cup triumph. He went on to play 452 times for Rangers, winning three League championships, four Scottish Cups and three Scottish League Cups.
McLean was capped six times by Scotland, with all his appearances coming as a Kilmarnock player. He also represented the Scottish League XI seven times.
In October 2016 he was inducted into the Kilmarnock 'Hall of Fame' alongside other well-known former players such as James Fowler, Ray Montgomerie and Stuart McLean (no relation).
After his playing career he became Rangers' assistant manager. Thereafter he had spells in management with Morton, Motherwell (a ten-year spell during which the club won the Scottish Cup in 1991), Hearts, Raith Rovers and Dundee United, before becoming Under-19 coach at Rangers.
