Kevin McNaughton (born August 28, 1982 in Dundee) is a Scottish footballer, currently playing for Cardiff City.
Beginning his career at Scottish giants Aberdeen, he was thrust into the first team at 18 and became a regular for the 2000/01 and 2001/02 seasons. It wasn't long before he won his first Scotland cap against Nigeria. However, his form declined, and so did his Scotland career after falling out with Scotland manager Berti Vogts at half-time in a friendly against Denmark,
He was no longer first choice for Scotland, but under new Aberdeen manager Jimmy Calderwood, his form improved and he won a recall to the Scottish national team.
During the 2005-06 season he was linked with moves to Celtic and Fulham but nothing came of either, and it was announced that he would be joining English championship side Cardiff City.
Since joining Cardiff City, his form has been excellent and once again he won a recall to the Scottish national team, although injury robbed him of the chance to take his place in the squad.
