Alex Anderson (15 November 1921 – 18 January 1999) was a Scottish footballer who played as a full-back. Anderson began his career in the mid-1940s with St Johnstone, spending a year with the Perth side before moving back to Tayside with Forfar Athletic. In 1949, Anderson moved south to Southampton, spending three years as backup to England right-back Bill Ellerington before short spells with Exeter City and Dundee United. Released after playing just a few games with United,[1] It is unknown where Anderson's career headed after his short time at Tannadice, though he did appear at then Southern League club Cheltenham Town in the 1950s.

Anderson died in January 1999 at the age of 77.
