Derek Soutar (born June 4, 1981 in Dundee) is a Scottish professional football goalkeeper currently unattached and without a club.

Soutar previously played for Dundee and had loan spells with Brechin City and Alloa Athletic. He joined Aberdeen in July 2006.

Things looked bright for Soutar after the Dons' regular keeper, Jamie Langfield, had a drink fuelled bust up with manager Jimmy Calderwood after bumping into the manager during his honeymoon. As a result of the incident Langfield was demoted to the bench and Soutar was made first choice.[1]

On April 15, 2008, he was told he would not be offered a new contract by Aberdeen and would be free to leave in the summer along with six other players.
