Alasdair Dickinson (born 11 September 1983 in Dundee) is a Scottish rugby union footballer, who plays for Sale Sharks. He plays as a prop. He is a product of the Scottish Institute of Sport.

The prop plays on the loose-head side of the scrum and featured twice against Gloucester in the 2006 – 07 Heineken Cup.

Dickinson signed for Gloucester from Edinburgh Gunners for the 2007/08 season.

2008 – 09 really saw him force his way into the Gloucester first team to a regular basis as he made 20 appearances in total.
