Willie Rough is a play by Scottish writer Bill Bryden.

Originally a stage play, a TV version was shown in 1976 as Play for Today, with a cast including Fulton Mackay and Roddy McMillan.

It is set in a Greenock shipyard around the outbreak of the First World War, and put forward a revolutionary socialist view of events of the time.[1] John Maclean, a Socialist leader who opposed the war, is mentioned several times but never appears in person.
