Andrew Aitken (27 April 1877 – 15 February 1955) was a Scottish footballer who was one of the early game's most prominent players. After playing for local Ayrshire sides, he signed for English Second Division club Newcastle United in 1895, then in only their third league season. He helped the club to promotion in 1898 and was a key member of the side as they established themselves in the First Division, captaining the Magpies from 1899 to 1905. He returned to Scotland to finish his playing career with Dundee and Kilmarnock, his career ending in January 1913 with a serious groin injury.
