Murdo Davidson MacLeod (born August 24, 1958 in Glasgow) is a former Scottish professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

MacLeod made his name with Dumbarton in the late 1970s before moving to Celtic in 1979. During his nine years there he helped win five league titles, two Scottish Cups and one League Cup. He then moved to German club Borussia Dortmund, and after 4 years and 103 games he returned home to Hibernian, where he helped win a League Cup.

He enjoyed 22 appearances with the Scottish national team playing in World Cup finals. After a successful playing career he returned to Dumbarton as player coach where he steered the club to promotion from Division 2 with a last day win over Stirling Albion in 1995. In the summer of '95 McLeod left the Sons to manage then Premier League Partick Thistle, where he had two poor seasons with the club, including relegation at the end of the 1995-96 season. In 1998 he joined Celtic as assistant coach under Wim Jansen.

Nowadays he writes for the Daily Record as well as commentating on football for BBC Scotland.
