Kyle Macaulay (born 13 May 1986) is a Scottish former professional footballer who played as a midfielder. He works as head of senior scouting for Manchester United.

Born in Elgin, he started his career at Derby County but after two years at Pride Park, he was released. Macaulay was signed by his uncle Steve Paterson for Aberdeen. He made his debut on 4 February 2006 against Heart of Midlothian at Tynecastle.

In November 2006 he was loaned out to Peterhead before signing a permanent deal with them on 31 January 2007. After leaving Peterhead in the summer of 2007, Macaulay was out of football for a few months until he signed for Alloa Athletic after a successful trial period. He scored for Alloa in February 2008 in a game against his former club Peterhead.

In 2011, Macaulay won a silver medal in the football at the 2011 Summer Universiade.

He continued playing semi-professional football in the Scottish League system until 2012, when he graduated from the University of Stirling.

Macaulay played for Scotland at youth international level.

Macaulay began in a non-playing role in Sweden shortly afterwards, working as a performance analyst at Östersunds for Graham Potter, where he spent six years.

Macaulay joined Swansea City in a similar role in June 2018, when Potter moved to the Welsh club. Swansea had a somewhat successful season back in the Championship following relegation from the Premier League in the season prior finishing in 10th place and reaching the quarter finals of the FA Cup.
