Lyndon "Andy" McMillan (born 22 June 1968 in Bloemfontein) is a former South African football player, who played much of his career at York City in defence. He is second in the all-time appearance records at York City.

Prior to joining York City in 1987, McMillan had trials at Tottenham Hotspur, Hull City and Preston North End. He would stay at City for 11 years at right back, eventually becoming the clubs second all-time top appearances maker under the management of Alan Little.

The 1992-93 season saw him chosen by fellow league professionals as the best right back in the Third Division, the same season City won promotion via the Division Three playoffs. The club played in Division Two the following year, and managed to reach the semi-finals of the playoffs, but were not victorious.

While McMillan was with the club, York City beat Premiership sides Manchester United in 1995 3-0, and Everton F.C. during 1996 3-2 in the Coca-Cola Cup, two of the clubs most famous giant killings.

In all competitions McMillan played for the Minstermen 493 times. At the Yorkshire club, he was a highly popular figure, but was forced out by the then chairman; Douglas Craig in 1999 before he could reach 500 appearances, much to the dismay of the clubs fans.^{[citation needed]}

After leaving City, McMillan would briefly play with Scottish side Ayr United before retiring from professional football in 2000. He did however have a spell with non-league side Nestlé Rowntree a year later.

Once retired he went on to work for a local estate agent in York followed by a software firm. He now runs his own aggregates company delivering building materials. Football wise, McMillan plays for Haxby United in the York Leeper Hare League Division 1 alongside Christian Fox who also played at York City
