Walter Seymour Main (1875 – after 1901) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as an inside left. He scored 11 goals in 33 appearances in the Second Division of the Football League playing for Small Heath.[1]

Main was born in Motherwell, and played for Airdrieonians before moving to England to join Small Heath in 1899. A creative player, he was unable to establish himself as a regular first-choice player despite a good goalscoring record, and was replaced by Johnny McMillan. He returned to Scotland to play for St Bernard's.[2]
