Malcolm John Eadie Fraser (4 March 1860 – 8 January 1886) was a Scottish international footballer, who played for Queen's Park and Scotland in the 1870s and 1880s.^[1]^[2]

Fraser was born in Goderich, Ontario, the son of a Scottish Presbyterian minister. Returning to Scotland as a boy, he was brought up in Glasgow. A talented footballer, he won five caps for Scotland between 1880 and 1883, scoring four goals in the process. At Queen's Park he won two Scottish Cup medals and was club secretary in 1882/83.^[1]

He died in Sydney, Australia of tuberculosis shortly after arriving on a sea journey from Scotland, having been sent there in an effort to cure the effects of the illness, which he contracted while working in Nigeria.^[1]
