Ray McKinnon (born 5 August 1970 in Dundee) is a Scottish footballer, who is currently player/manager for Lochee United in the Scottish Junior Football East Super League.

McKinnon started his career with Dundee United, where he impressed Brian Clough to win a £750k move to Nottingham Forest in August 1992. A disappointing spell in England saw him return to Scotland with Aberdeen, where he spent the 1994-95 season. A move back to Tannadice beckoned and McKinnon spent the next three years with Dundee United, where he famously scored a hat-trick of free-kicks in a 3-2 win over Kilmarnock at Rugby Park in February 1997.

McKinnon moved to Luton Town in 1998, in the first of many single seasons at various clubs. Spells at Livingston, Raith Rovers, Ayr United, Stirling Albion, East Fife, Torquay United, Montrose and second spell at Raith saw him finish his professional career. McKinnon moved to Lochee United in 2004, before leaving in July 2005 to take up a player/coach position with Broughty Athletic. McKinnon returned as Lochee manager in 2006.
