John Buchanan (9 June 1928 – December 2000) was a Scottish football striker. Buchanan started his career with Clyde, and his prolific form saw him get a move to Derby County. He also played for Bradford Park Avenue, before retiring in 1963. He is only one of a handful of Clyde players to have scored four goals in a single match. Derby County won the Third Division North title in 1956–57, but Buchanan only played six league games with a return of five goals.
