Roderick Findlay McLean (22 October 1915 – 14 September 1979) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton in the VFL. He is the father of Richmond and Carlton footballer Ricky McLean.

A ruckman, McLean was a premiership player with Carlton in 1938 and 1945. Late in the 1942 season he was found guilty of disputing the decisions of a field umpire, abusive language and unseemly conduct during a game which resulted in a 16 games suspension.

McLean served in the Australian Army for three years during World War II.
