Alexander (Sandy) Grimmond Davie (born June 10, 1945 in Dundee) is a Scottish former footballer who played as goalkeeper. Davie spent most of his career with Dundee United and played for Scotland under-23.

In 1967, Ted Bates tried to sign Davie for £15,000 but the offer was rejected. He eventually joined Southampton in May 1970 (for a fee of £12,500) as cover for Eric Martin, but only made one appearance for The Saints on 20 February 1970 in a 5-1 defeat at Manchester United. (Four of Manchester United's goals were scored by Alan Gowling.)

He returned to his hometown club in May 1972 where he enjoyed several good seasons before emigrating to New Zealand and later playing for the New Zealand national side. Davie was involved at various levels with the New Zealand ladies' football team - the SWANZ - until April 2003. Davie was also manager at North Shore United shortly after emigrating.
