Alistair Espie "Ally" Maxwell (born February 16, 1965 in Hamilton) is a Scottish football coach and former professional footballer. He is currently a youth coach for Sereno Soccer Club in the United States, having previously played for Motherwell, Rangers and Dundee United.

Maxwell famously won the Scottish Cup with Motherwell, playing for most of the second half plus thirty minutes of extra time with broken ribs, a ruptured spleen and intermittent double vision sustained in a collision with Dundee United defender John Clark. Despite his injuries, Maxwell stretched to tip a fierce goalbound shot from Dundee United defender (and future Motherwell manager) Maurice Malpas over the bar with two minutes of extra time remaining, to ensure Motherwell ran out 4-3 winners.

After loan spells in England with Liverpool and Bolton, Maxwell moved to Rangers, where he picked up a Scottish League Cup winners' medal and another Scottish Cup medal, albeit a runners-up one, as Dundee United gained revenge for Maxwell's heroics three years previously.

Maxwell then moved to United and spent three seasons at Tannadice, although the majority of his games came in his first season. A move to Morton followed. He was also briefly a goalkeeping coach at Hamilton Academical.

Although present in several Scotland squads, Maxwell never received a cap. He did, however, play in the first half of a Scotland B international against Wales at Wrexham in 1994.
