Roy McEachen (born 7 June 1913, date of death unknown) was an Australian rules footballer who played with South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[2]
McEachen first broke into the South Melbourne team in the third round of the 1935 VFL season and played in every game until round 15, when he received a four-week suspension for striking Jack Smith of North Melbourne.[3] He returned in time to appear as South Melbourne's reserve in the 1935 VFL Grand Final and kicked the only goal of his career in the loss.[4]
Early in 1936, McEachen left the state to take up the position of captain-coach of New South Wales club Narrandera.[5]
