Frazer Wright (born 23 December 1979 in East Kilbride) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Scottish Premier League club Kilmarnock.

After starting his career with semi-professional club Stranraer, he joined Kilmarnock in June 2005 on a free transfer.[1] He quickly established himself in the Kilmarnock team, making 28 appearances in his first season at Rugby Park.

He scored his first Kilmarnock goal in a 2-2 draw with Rangers in August 2006[2] and netted again the following month with an extra time free-kick in a 2-1 win against Livingston in the CIS Cup.[3] He was on target again in the CIS Cup in November, scoring twice in a 3-2 win over Motherwell in the quarter-finals.[4]

A former postman, Wright commands hero status with the Kilmarnock working-class fanbase. This is evidenced by their chant "Frazer Wright - he used to be a postman but he's all right now".
