Angus Abbey (born 15 November 1925) was an Australian rules football player. He played with Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL), mainly as a defender.

His playing measurements were 180 cm and 82.5 kg, which are identical to those of his son Ross who also played for Footscray from 1971 to 1981.
