Robert Ferrier (1899 – 1971) was an English footballer who played for Scottish club Motherwell as an outside left. He holds the record for most appearances in the Scottish Football League, and is one of the top ten goalscorers. He was captain of the side that won Motherwell's only league championship to date, in 1931–32, besides playing in two Scottish Cup finals (1931 and 1933, both lost to Celtic). Ferrier represented the Scottish League XI in seven inter-league matches, scoring five goals. After retiring as a player in 1937, he was the Motherwell assistant manager and later managed Airdrieonians and Ayr United.
In October 2021, 104 years after first signing on at Fir Park, it was announced that Ferrier was to be inducted into the Motherwell F.C. Hall of Fame.
