John Lindsay (1862–1932) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Accrington. He represented Scotland three times between 1888 and 1893.

Club career Lindsay played in goal in all three Scottish Cup Finals played by Renton, his hometown club. He spent four years on their books between 1885 and 1889.

Lindsay signed for Accrington in 1889 and played in all but one first team match during the 1889–90 season, which was Accrington's best Football League outcome, finishing sixth; however they conceded 56 goals, the fourth worst in the division.
