Robert McCartney was a Scottish footballer who played as a defender. He began and ended his senior career with Leith Athletic,[1] spending his prime years at Heart of Midlothian[2] where he won the Scottish Cup in 1896[3] and the Scottish Football League championship in 1896–97, playing in all but one of the 18 fixtures; he also claimed two winner's medals each from the minor Rosebery Charity Cup (to add to one from his first spell at Leith)[4] and East of Scotland Shield.

McCartney was selected once for the Scottish League XI in January 1898.[5][6]
