Aubrey Duckworth MacKenzie (November 1894 – 15 July 1933) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Melbourne and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A Brunswick junior, MacKenzie appeared twice for Melbourne in the 1914 VFL season before enlisting in the armed forces and serving during the war.[1][2]

MacKenzie was a member of Footscray's 1919 and 1920 Victorian Football Association premiership sides when he returned from the war and signed with St Kilda for the 1922 season.[3] The South African born ruckman spent three years with St Kilda and helped turn a struggling outfit into a winning team.[4]

MacKenzie died on 15 July 1933 in a motor accident. He was survived by his wife, Lillian, and his two children, Audrey and Maxie.[5]
