Stuart McLaren (born August 28, 1975) is an Australian football (soccer) player currently playing for Queensland Roar in the A-League.

Queensland Roar coach, Miron Bleiberg signed McLaren on a short-term contract in early November 2005. He was signed due to Josh McCloughlan's injury, playing as a defender as he did when he was a former player-coach with the Brisbane Strikers in the old Australian League. He has since been signed as a permanent player and regularly plays in the starting eleven, occasionally even captaining the Queensland Roar.
