Alexander MacDonald (born March 17, 1948 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish professional footballer who played for St. Johnstone, Rangers and Hearts.

MacDonald started his career with St. Johnstone but was snapped up by Rangers in November 1968 for £50,000. He quickly became a fans favourite at Ibrox as he demonstrated his passion for the blue jersey. He was instrumental in Rangers 1972 Cup Winners Cup triumph scoring against Rennes in the First Round. During his time at Rangers he played 503 games and scored 94 times and won 3 League Championship, 4 Scottish Cup and 4 League Cup medals. MacDonald joined Hearts for £30,000 in 1980, becoming their player/manager in 1981.

At Tynecastle he took them to within eight minutes of winning the Scottish Premiership title in 1985-86. He became joint managers alongside Sandy Jardine in 1986.

MacDonald later found success with Airdrieonians, who he guided to two Scottish Cup finals and into Europe. In the 1992-93 season he led them into the European Cup Winners Cup as a result of being runners-up to Rangers in the Scottish Cup final during the previous season. The club's last appearance in the final was in 1994-95, a mere seven years before they folded, when they lost 1-0 to Celtic.

MacDonald was capped once by Scotland, against Switzerland in 1976.
