Duncan Henderson Ogilvie (1911–1967) was a professional footballer who played as a midfielder. Born in Glasgow, Ogilvie began his career with Motherwell in 1932, winning a Scotland cap eighteen months later.[2] In 1936, Ogilvie moved south to join Huddersfield Town[3] but returned to Well before the end of the year in a swap deal for Willie MacFadyen.[4] Like many players, his playing career was interrupted by the Second World War and he concentrated on his engineering work during this time.[2] Indeed, in 1941, he moved to Falkirk to be closer to his home and remained there until December 1946, before spending eighteen months with Hamilton Academical. A final playing season with Dundee United, which saw him playing in defence, ensued before his retirement in 1950. During the 1950s, Ogilvie returned to former club Falkirk as a director.[2]

Ogilvie died in May 1967 aged 55.[2]
