Alexander Scott Rae, (born September 30, 1969 in Glasgow), is a professional football midfielder who is currently player/manager at Dundee.

Rae started his career as a youngster at boyhood heroes Rangers but was rejected by boss Graeme Souness. He joined Falkirk and enjoyed a successful two years. He was signed by Millwall in 1990 for £100,000. He made his Millwall debut on 25th August 1990. His form for Millwall earned him a big money move to Sunderland for £1 million in 1996, where he established himself as a crowd-pleasing, combative midfielder as the club went on to establish itself in the Premiership. After dropping out of manager Peter Reid's plans, he was signed by Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2001, again for £1 million. He quickly became an important player for Wolves and helped them back into the Premiership in season 2003-04.

He re-signed for Rangers in 2004 and was an SPL champion in his first season. He only featured 12 times in his second season, however, and was later released by the club.

He was appointed as player/manager of Dundee on 24 May 2006.
