Roderick Hallowell "Sandy" MacPherson was a British theatre organist who achieved considerable exposure in the early weeks of World War II when the BBC briefly switched to broadcasting only light music. McPherson played up to twelve hours per day, also filling in announcements and programme notes, until pressure from listeners and the press caused the BBC to recommence broadcasting a wider range of music.

During the balance of the war MacPherson regularly broadcast on the BBC from the BBC Theatre Organ, located in Bangor, Wales, close to Macpherson;s then home of Llandudno.

In the early 1930s MacPherson was the resident organist at the Empire, Leicester Square.
